Menopause Awareness for Managers

Thursday 26 September 10:00 until 11:30

�鶹��ý of Sussex Campus

Part of the series: Thriving through Menopause

Target audience: All staff (Academic and Professional Services) with or taking on management/leadership responsibilities.

Menopause shouldn’t be a taboo subject, and everyone should feel they can have an open conversation with their line manager, especially when they need advice or support.

With a growing number of people going through the menopause transition experiencing symptoms so severe that they leave the workplace, it is vital that managers understand the impact that symptoms can have, and know how to support their colleagues.

Research shows that people are often uncomfortable disclosing their symptoms and problems to managers, particularly if those managers are young or male. For this reason, we encourage managers of all ages and genders to attend this online training.

This workshop will cover:

Why we need to talk openly about menopause
What menopause is, why it happens and when
The signs and symptoms
How you can support colleagues in your role as a line manager
How to access support and resources available at the �鶹��ý
