She Works! - Menopause and the Workplace

Are you aware that 30% of women feel uncomfortable discussing their individual peri or menopause symptoms?

Menopause is a workplace gender equality and age equality issue, and most workplaces are under-equipped for addressing these areas, meaning that attracting and retaining talented, mid-life women is a challenge.

If you’d like to make your workplace perimenopause and menopause inclusive, I provide a menopause policy writing service, I hold guided workshops or team events, and I can also support individuals within your organisation in a 1:1 coaching capacity.

Menopause and the workplace in Australia

Right now, in Australia the government is focused on improving and prolonging workforce participation of women, and with its workplace equality agenda, menopause is on every progressive organisation’s agenda, and this is because:

How I can help?

For women in Australia, we are ready to talk and understand the bleeding obvious! Let me help you to work with your teams, mangers, and individuals to understand:

What menopause is and what some of the common, but not widely discussed symptoms include. It is not just about sweating and air conditioning thermostats!
Why menopause is a health and well-being concern and why women need to be properly supported in the work environment during this time.
What policies or changes could be considered to make your workplace more inclusive.

When you implement a Menopause Policy, hold guided workshops or team events, you encourage your teams to become more aware and supportive of colleagues. It means that you have the backs of your midlife women, and this enhances diversity and inclusion and will:

Reduce the number of sick days in your workforce.
Avoid potential legal risks.
Help improve culture in the workplace.
Improve midlife staff retention.

Reach out to me via the contact page and we can coordinate an initial discussion to understand what you need and how I can help you to be more menopause inclusive.

I’ve always been a businesswoman that could function with lots of complex tasks on the go simultaneously… then menopause hit! For me it was honestly like an out of body experience, I didn’t recognise myself physically or emotionally anymore. Would be in meetings and go to introduce a colleague of 15 years and my mind was blank, I couldn’t remember their name! I tried tough it out but eventually sought help and went on HRT, it was life changing, and I feel more like myself.

Every woman's experience with menopause is unique, and it's essential to seek support and guidance from healthcare professionals and loved ones during this transitional period. If you're going through menopause or know someone who is, it's important to approach the experience with empathy and understanding.

Thank you so much Megan for all the information.

It is really helpful and strangely feels good to talk with someone who understands the pain I am feeling.

I have reached out to a few gyno's in my area and have an appointment in a couple of weeks time, so I begin my journey again....

Thanks, Megan, for being so forthcoming with information on your experience and allowing me to share mine.

I wish more relatives would pass on their experiences to ease the path for others.

It gave me the confidence to seek out professional assistance....

Megan, thanks so much for sharing your experiences and listening to mine. Being able to talk to someone who ‘gets it’ was incredibly helpful, I felt far less isolated after our sessions.

I’m so glad we caught up and got moving early each time (even though I did not want to get out of bed!). It really does set your day off in a positive direction....

Because you shared so openly your experience, it gave me the courage to go and have a chat about hormone replacement and my options again.

I am now successfully on MHT and feeling the benefits....

It’s such a relief to talk openly about menopause. I believe that Mimi’s mission to help take the stigma out of Meno is very important and it has helped me to understand what can be expected and that I’m not alone.
