A third of women experience severe menopausal symptoms that can impact their quality of life. At work, women often struggle the most to manage their symptoms and are embarrassed or unable to speak out, for fear of being labelled. We’ll be joined by two female leaders and talking about changes to the treatment of menopausal women in the workplace.
