Change happens between age 35 – 55 (bet you didn’t know that!)

5
Itchy Bitchy Sweaty Sleepy Bloated Forgetful Psycho!
Is this the Anger
Management Course? Everybody is getting at me!
6
Is this you?
7
Do all women go through menopause?
I’m supposed to cope, aren’t I?
• This is terrible. Am I the only one it’s
happening to?
• Am I going nuts?
• I’m feeling Stressed and Anxious
• Can’t tell anybody
• I feel so miserable
• I might lose my job
• Part-time or resign?
All this because of hormones!
Men tell me...
8
Menopause is like a
Hurricane...
9
Because so little
is understood by
either men or
women
The answer is so simple – I
can show you a Menopause
Solution that works!
Dangerous and Deadly!
Symptoms are mis-diagnosed
10
Feeling bonkers?
Underperforming?
Can’t Cope?
Must be stress & anxiety, right?
Mental Health
11
Stress and Anxiety are surely
in the mental health
spectrum?
Prescribe Anti-Depressants?
but why?
It’s Hormonal!
But, Wait! What am I talking about...
12
You may think this looks as if
I am making a case against
employing women...
The complete
opposite – Women
are an Assset
13
And it’s why I want you to sit up and Listen!
Menopause: 7/10 Women Suffer in Silence!
What are the Health Issues?
14
Mental health is now talked about much more
openly BUT women are being wrongly
diagnosed because...
• Women are:
• Emotional and crying
• Feeling depressed
• Showing signs of anxiety
Actually, it’s Hormones!
Menopause, like purberty, is NOT a disease
but symptoms can last up to 15 years
15
No matter how bad women feel at work...
Menopause is not discussed
Managers embarrassed or lack
experience
Occ Health & HR also lack knowledge
Silence can lead to other health
concerns
The Solution is Simple!
16
These Forward-Thinking Organisations
acknowledge Menopause in the Workplace
Royal College of Nursing
National Union of Teachers
TUC
BAWP (British Association of Women Police)
SAS (Schools Advisory Service)
What these organisations are saying...
17
They are recognising
menopause and want to help
those affected without making
it an issue
They are all looking at ways
to make this simple for all
concerned
18
Older Workforce?
Yes! And ...?
Historically pipe and slippers
Now forced to work longer (and full time)
There are Huge Benefits to utilising an older workforce
This is breaking new ground – we’remaking
history
But, is sickness absenteeism on the increase?
Do you know why?
The solution to menopause is So Simple
