About this event

3 hours

Menopause is an inevitable life stage for all women during midlife. With 3 in 4 people saying menopause symptoms impacted their daily lives and 1 in 4 reporting severe symptoms, supporting people through menopause within the workplace is mission critical.

Besides being the right thing to do, being a menopause friendly workplace may also help you:

Improve your gender pay gap
Increase productivity and reduce absenteeism
Attract and retain talent by being an employer of choice
Enhance employee wellbeing
Reduce your legal risk including the risk of gender and age based discrimination
Address psychosocial hazards
Achieve gender equality
Improve the representation of women in leadership

A Federal Senate Inquiry is currently investigating the impact of menopause on women including how workplaces are providing support. There has never been a better time to get started on your menopause friendly pathway.

With an increased focus on women’s health and menopause in the workplace, we’re being asked:

Should I provide menopause and menstruation leave?
Do I need a menopause policy?
Should I create a combined policy for menopause, menstruation and reproductive therapy?
How can I implement a policy successfully?

Come along to hear from Menopause Friendly as we explore these questions and help you create your own Menopause Friendly Strategy.

The menopause friendly roadshow 2024 will help you take the first steps in developing your menopause friendly strategy. We’ll introduce the 5 menopause friendly standards, and you’ll walk away with a practical 4 step plan to get you started on your journey.

30% of your ticket price will be donated to an Australian women's charity.

Morning tea, coffee and refreshments will be served throughout the event thanks to host sponsor CPA Australia.

Menopause Friendly is the only global menopause support provider offering tried, trusted and tested workplace services that make being menopause friendly easier for you, wherever you are.
