CIPD Staff get Talking Menopause Down in Bournemouth
The team at Talking Menopause recently headed down to Bournemouth to meet up with members of the CIPD’s Bournemouth, Poole & District Group to deliver another informative Menopause Awareness workshop.
Taking place amongst the unique architecture of Bournemouth University, the workshop was delivered as part of an ongoing programme of events for CIPD and was designed to help the members in attendance gain a better understanding of the menopause and it’s symptoms. The topics covered within the session included key menopause facts, impact on the individual, employee legislation and examples of how employers can support their staff.
The CIPD team members had nothing but praise for Talking Menopause and the workshop was a huge success, with those in attendance gaining the knowledge and tools needed to start a menopause conversation at work and explore practical solutions to help themselves or their colleagues.
Helen McCartney, HR Business Partner and organiser of the events for CIPD, spoke highly of the session, saying:
“The feedback from this session was overwhelmingly positive and and there was much interest from our members in how they could transform their company cultures into menopause-friendly workplaces. Lynda is a very engaging and knowledgeable speaker who has the ability to draw her audience into the discussion and even made the male members feel at ease! I hope we have the opportunity to work together again in the future.”
Talking Menopause was founded in 2017 and is now a leading provider of workshops, webinars and individually tailored programmes helping organisations transform their culture and create menopause-friendly workplaces.
Menopausal women are demographically the fastest growing group of workers in the UK, but despite it being a natural life process, the menopause – and how symptoms can affect employees and organisations as a whole – is rarely discussed.
