Menopause in the Workplace Wales Conference | Thursday 27th April 2023
Voco St David's Cardiff, Havannah St, Cardiff CF10 5SD
09:00 - 13:30
80% of women will experience menopause symptoms that impact the quality of their daily life, including work.* In addition, more than a third of women in Wales said they considered giving up work due their menopause symptoms.** Yet many employers in Wales still do not have a dedicated menopause policy or toolkit in place.
Join Senedd Insight’s timely, Menopause in the Workplace Wales Conference, for practical guidance on how to support, recruit and retain women experiencing the menopause in your workplace. Gain the latest policy insights from our keynote speakers, Carolyn Harris MP, Co-chair of the UK Menopause Taskforce, and Jenny Rathbone MS, Chair of the Cross-Party Group on Women’s Health.
Network with senior leaders and HR professionals from across all sectors in Wales as we discuss your journey through the menopause revolution. Hear from our experts and best practice case studies. How do you embed a menopause policy that suits your workplace? Understand your legal responsibility, and ensure you cover all bases when it comes to making reasonable adjustments for the menopause.
We will hear from health experts, as we bust myths and misconceptions. Understand the symptoms, and how you can support employees to manage their symptoms at work.
Too many women leave the workplace silently due to the menopause. Gain insights from lived experience and ensure you are not losing valuable staff prematurely. Break down stigmas and taboos to give women the confidence to ask for the support they need. We will review the ways you can improve the physical and cultural environment to become a menopause friendly workplace.
