What's in it for me

By: Torild Boe
  • Summary

  • We want to bring awareness to menopause in the workplace. Some don’t suffer - one in three do! Let’s support those that do by opening the conversation. We’ll host inspiring and thought provoking guests and ask questions like: Why is menopause a workplace issue? What are the most bothersome symptoms affecting work and what can be done to help alleviate these? How does menopause fit into DEI and the topic of retaining talent? What initiatives can organisations implement? *we refer to women, but menopausal symptoms can affect women, trans and non-binary people experiencing the menopause.

    May 21 2023
    Our guest in this episode is Lawrence Webb, Group SHE Strategy Director at Costain Group, a wellbeing advocate and the President of the Institution of Occupational Safety and Health (IOSH). Lawrence is passionate about creating safe and supportive work environments.  He emphasizes the importance of education to understand symptoms of the stages of menopause to  prevent misunderstandings. Leaders can foster conversation and empathy to help their teams thrive and avoid performance issues. He also highlights the importance of implementing  menopause in workplace diversity and inclusion efforts. Lawrence encourages leaders to educate themselves and create an inclusive environment and acknowledges that some companies may hesitate to implement support due to concerns of making mistakes. However, he encourages organizations, particularly in industries like construction and other industries where we want to attract and retain more female employees  to take some action.  Join us as we delve deeper into the importance of wellbeing advocacy and creating inclusive work environments with Lawrence Webb.
