Workplace talks and training

Talks-and-training-for-menopause-confidence

According to The Fawcett Society, 1 in 10 women who worked during the menopause have left a job due to their symptoms, with 26% taking time off work as a result, of which 22% took more than one month off or more. This is not only a great financial cost to businesses but also a tragic loss of skill and experience.

Everyone who is female, and some non-binary and trans people will be in menopause at some point so your boss, colleague, and line manager will all be affected. Everyone needs to be well-informed, and develop support strategies for those experiencing menopause in the workplace.

Without awareness and education, it’s true that menopause can change capacity, but with menopause confidence in the workplace, it can become a huge asset. Menopause in the workplace talks and training helps to retain experienced employees, build community and teamwork, and nourishes unique leadership skills in the perimenopause employees.

In my menopause talks and training for corporates I am passionate about empowering people in menopause to not only ask for what they need, but also to recognise the leadership skills and personal growth that are emerging from the experience.

 

 

We were to grateful to have Kate come along to Bauer to do a session on the Power of Peri-Menopause. Not only did the session allow us to bring together a community of people, we also had employee come away from the session feeling re-assured and supported. Kates session was interactive allowing our people to share their own experiences and provided a safe space to connect and engage. I couldn't recommend Kates sessions enough

Kate has a great deal of expertise and is a wonderful speaker. Working with her is easy and joyful in every way and our clients respond really well to her. Can highly recommend Kate's work.

Kat Farrants, Movement for Modern Life

Kate Codrington inspired and educated in her training around working theraputically with the menopause. Attendees were highly engaged and moved by Kate's teaching as well as being resourced to work more confidently in this specialist area. We highly recommend her.

Kate is the voice of reason and inspiration when it comes to menopause. She's the voice of care and reassurance. If you get a chance to listen to Kate, don't hesitate!

Rachel Lankaster, MenoClarity

Kate's work not only educates on the area of Menopause, but she also encourages us to reflect, process, and step into a more loving and compassionate relationship with ourselves and each other in this space. She left my group feeling empowered in their menopause journey as opposed to the common message that it is a problem that needs to be managed. I look forward to more presentations and talks from Kate in our courses to come!

Lisa de Jong, Menstrual Cycle Coaching Training

I invited Kate Codrington to make a presentation at my recent Navigate Menopause with Confidence Summit and she more than lived up to my expectation. She lead us through a powerful visualisation to help us understand our menopause symptoms and obtain insight on how to deal with them. The feedback from attendees was very positive. Her calm and thoughtful presence is a bonus for any event. I strongly recommend her.

Pat Duckworth, Smarter Menopause

Thank you so much for the powerful talk, to view menopause through the seasons really helped to understand the nature of the process. The power of the questions we need to ask and the kindness we need to show ourselves will be a great tool going forward.

Here are some of the ambitions for menopause at work talks and training.

  • People with menopause symptoms feel more confident to bring their concerns to managers and colleagues, and are empowered to ask for support and adaptations where they need it.
  • People without menopause symptoms understand what it is, can listen to menopause needs, confidently explore options with colleagues, follow through on menopause policy and have a range of resources to support colleagues available.
  • Organisations experience cultural shifts towards acceptance and inclusion.
  • Awareness of menstrual health also improves, reducing taboos and improving support for endometriosis and other menstrual issues.
  • Organisations experience financial benefit of fewer people leaving work in midlife.
  • Organisations benefit from the enhanced leadership skills arising in perimenopause colleagues.

Menopause affects everyone differently and for those experiencing challenging symptoms, it can be a huge relief to know their employer can support them. For employers, supporting their perimenopausal employees improves productivity, reduces absenteeism, and encourages beneficial leadership qualities across the board. In short when menopause policy is implemented, everyone wins.

Menopause at work talks and trainings for colleagues and line managers, together or separately, can be tailored for individual organisations, always facilitating a safe space for everyone’s voices to be heard and with an awareness of how age, heritage and gender orientation can affect menopause experiences.

There is also a menu of resource packs available, including online courses, books, organisations, guides to the personal growth possible in menopause, practices and self-care which can be provided for ongoing support.

Do get in touch to find out about off the peg or made to measure menopause talks and trainings for the workplace or book an online consult.

It’s time to go beyond company menopause policy and develop truly inclusive and diverse businesses bursting with menopause confidence.
