Menopause: Helping You Thrive
Helping You Thrive
Nicky Gaylor offers brilliant menopause coaching for the workplace
Tell us about your menopause workplace talks and workshops?
My talks and workshops go beyond information about menopause. I help businesses create menopause friendly cultures which boost productivity and performance. As the owner of one of the UK’s leading menopause health brands, Sylk Natural Lubricant, I have a wealth of knowledge and experience in this field.
I offer:
– Policy Advice
– Menopause Awareness Talks
– HR & Manager Workshops
Why is it important to manage menopause in the workplace?
Many highly capable employees reach the peak of their careers only to feel like they can’t function due to menopause symptoms like brain fog, anxiety and hot flushes. When there is no menopause workplace support, these employees often quietly leave without warning.
Having a menopause friendly culture stops your experienced talent leaving, reduces recruitment costs and time off work.
From April 2027, all companies with 250+ employees are legally required to have a Menopause Action Plan. Regardless of size, all companies should be menopause-friendly.
What can workplaces do to help their employees with menopause?
Building a menopause-friendly culture requires everyone to be on board. Awareness talks are a great way to start that conversation and build understanding about the impact this life stage can have, how to manage symptoms and ask for help. Giving line managers and HR the tools and language to have private conversations about menopause ensures a full circle of support. Simple adjustments that are easy to implement but can make all the difference include having access to desk fans, sitting near a window, having a dedicated private space and flexible working.
October is Menopause Awareness Month and a great opportunity to start the conversation about menopause in your workplace. I’m offering Time & Leisure readers 40% off a 1 hour Menopause Awareness Talk.
