We’re delighted to invite you to our next Learning Lab, where we’ll explore how improving menopause awareness and support can directly help close the Gender Pay Gap. Menopause impacts 1 in 4 women significantly, and around 10% leave their jobs due to unmanaged symptoms. Improving support isn’t just wellbeing‑focused, it’s a critical inclusion and retention priority.
Attendees will leave with a clearer understanding of how menopause shows up in the workplace and what meaningful, everyday support looks like - both for individuals and teams.
This is a virtual session, so you can join us from the comfort of your home, office or wherever you may be.
Here's what we'll cover during this session:
How menopause can affect wellbeing, performance, progression and retention
The link between stronger menopause support and reducing the Gender Pay Gap
Practical steps leaders and teams can take to create more supportive cultures
Signposting to helpful resources, including the brilliant work of our Aspire ARG
Lived‑experience sharing from colleagues to bring real stories to life
