SUMMARY:Supporting your workforce: Managing the menopause and menstruation at work
DESCRIPTION:Menstruation and menopause can have a significant impact on the physical and mental health of employees, in turn affecting their performance at work. By destigmatising the subject and putting support structures in place, employers can better support their employees and improve talent retention.\nJoin us in this webinar to hear from leading experts, including the British Standards Institution, on why it’s important to support menstruation and menopause in the workplace and what resources are available to employers to help them achieve this.\nThis webinar will cover:\n\nThe content in the BSI’s new 2023 standard ‘Menstruation, menstrual health and menopause in the workplace – Guide’\nPractical examples of how employers can support employees’ menstrual health\nWhat good support structures can look like in an SME setting\n\nThis session will equip attendees with a better understanding of the importance of supporting employees’ menstrual health, a topic which has been long stigmatised, as well as insight into how to get started in becoming more menstrual health inclusive.\nSpeakers\nDr Maria Tomlinson, Lecturer in Public Communication and Gender at University of Sheffield\nMaria’s research examines how journalists, NGOs, and advocates, communicate with the public about gender, health, and social inequalities. Her published work includes the monograph, From Menstruation to the Menopause: The Female Fertility Cycle in Contemporary Women’s Writing in French (Liverpool University Press). Her current Leverhulme funded project examines the impact of the menstrual movement on young people’s knowledge and perceptions of menstruation as well as related health and social issues (such as period poverty and endometriosis). Based on these findings, Maria has worked with menstrual advocacy specialist, Acushla Young, to create guidance for communicating effectively with young people about menstruation.\nHelen Tomlinson, Menopause Employment Champion & Head of Talent for Adecco Group\nHelen is the UK’s first-ever Menopause Champion. Working alongside the Department for Work and Pensions, Helen helps employers develop policies that empower women experiencing menopause to stay and progress in work.\nAdvocating for gender equity is the common thread throughout Helen’s 30-year career in the recruitment and employability sectors. In addition to her voluntary Menopause Champion role, Helen is Head of Talent (UK and Ireland) for the Adecco Group, the global leader in HR solutions. Her pioneering podcast on menopause and work inspired the Adecco Group to design and implement one of the UK’s first corporate menopause policies.\nNele Zgavc, Senior Standards Manager BSI\nNele has worked in standards development for the British Standards Institution (BSI) since 2015. BSI work across many industries, businesses, governments and consumers to develop standards which offers a wide range of benefits to businesses.
