To mark World Menopause Day (18th October) and Menopause Awareness Month, Women in Hospitality, Travel & Leisure (WiHTL) has organised an event to help businesses deal with menopause in the workplace.
The event, organised in partnership with Lauren Chiren of Women of a Certain Stage, will take place on Tuesday 20th October 2020. According to WiHTL research, 59% of working women felt that their organisation was not supportive of menopause. More shockingly, approximately 30% of women in the industry had considered leaving their job, and over 25% have avoided a promotion or taken a demotion due to menopausal symptoms.
STILL A TABOO TOPIC
The webinar will explore how to start a conversation about the often taboo topic of menopause in the workplace in a “culture that actually makes fun or is dismissive of menopausal women”. WiHTL will also launch the results of its white paper revealing further insights, as well as key actions employers can take to provide the right support in the workplace.
The event is open to both men and women said WiHTL “to prevent organisations from failing in their duty of care and also prevent a negative impact on business performance from losing talented women”.
