The Menopause Space

🤷♀️ How do I talk to my boss about menopause? A common question asked by women in the workplace who are suffering silence! Menopause symptoms can be challenging and can often negatively impact a woman's quality of life and performance at work. In fact, two thirds of women report that their menopause symptoms negatively impact their performance in the workplace. How does a woman ask her boss for support during the menopause transition? 💻 Read the full article 👉 https://lnkd.in/gpDztX7x #Menopauseconversation #menopauseatwork #menopausesupport #shespeaks #tatlerasia #whatthefog

What does a 'Menopause-Inclusive Workplace' look like? This panel of female leaders will discuss the implementation of menopause policy, managing 'sick' leave and the laws that protect women in menopause throughout Asia Pacific. We will get into the nitty gritty of current workplace practices and what can be done to advance menopause inclusivity. Embedding menopause within an organisational culture takes time BUT it is far from impossible. 💡 Keen to learn HOW? 🎟 Sign up here for your virtual ticket 👉 https://lnkd.in/gW64trfX Sian Hooper Rebecca Sharpe Catherine Leung Bloomberg Cathay Pacific Lewis Silkin #menopauseinclusivity #menopauseatwork #menopausepolicy #menopauseleave #menopauselaws #menopauseasia #whatthefog

Intersectionality – ADHD x Transgender x Endometriosis - and Menopause Managing the menopause transition can feel like playing the lottery—you never know what symptoms will arise or how severe they might be. Although menopause is a natural phase that affects half of the global population, no two experiences are the same. There is no parallel in healthcare for something so universally unpredictable, and certainly nothing comparable that impacts men worldwide. This panel discussion will spotlight the diverse lived experiences of hormonal transitioning and the impact it had in social and workplace environments, affirming why there is no ‘one-size-fits-all’ approach to menopause.

Huge congratulations to The Women's Foundation on their 20th Anniversary event Evolution through Exchange Summit. What a day of incredible conversations, learning and networking all for the purpose of closing the gender equality gap. I was blown away by the opening remarks from Fiona Nott and Sian Hooper and I can still hear Sian's question to the captivated audience 'What will I do today that makes tomorrow better'? A question we should all ask ourselves before we start the day. The Menopause Space had the privilege of hosting a table about the services we provide and stood alongside some giants in the DEI space.

Organisational Culture - Employer vs employee perceptions A recent report by Bank of America found that employers are more than twice as likely as employees to have a positive perception of their company culture regarding menopause. Is your organisation inclusive and supportive of menopause? How do you foster a menopause friendly working environment? Are your employees aware you are menopause friendly? Our annual menopause event What The Fog* 2024 on 18 October, will address the five step framework for becoming a Menopause Inclusive organisation and how to consistently provide support throughout the year: 1. Culture 2. Policies and practices 3. Training 4. Engagement 5. Working environment We aim to do this through thought-provoking conversations with corporate leaders, medical experts, wellness benefits and insurance providers, and real stories from employees who provide insight into menopause intersectionality. Eastern Asia, including Japan, South Korea and Singapore, is home to some of the world's fastest-ageing societies. Supporting menopause at work is not only the right thing to do BUT the smart thing to do. 💙 What The Fog* 2024 event details 📅 18 October 2024 📍 Bloomberg 25/F Cheung Kong Centre 🎟 www.whatthefog.org #whatthefog #menopauseinclusive #culturalchange #conversations #storytelling #menopausestrategy Fiona Nott Maitreyi Karanth Mayur Patel Monisha Dadlani Dr Laurena Law Zara Chan Lok DR HO CHOON MOY Nikki Davies Noelle Sinclair, MBA Emery Fung Lesther Kelly Libarios Susan F.
