Menopause in the workplace
For women experiencing menopause in the workplace, it can be a challenging time as it presents physical, emotional, and psychological changes. It is essential for workplaces to recognise, accommodate and support the needs of those going through this transition, to support their working life wellbeing and productivity.
Recognising the impact of menopause on women's lives and adjusting workplace policies and practices accordingly is not only beneficial for women, but also enhances overall workplace productivity and employee satisfaction. By creating a supportive environment that acknowledges and accommodates the needs of menopausal employees, your business or organisation can retain valuable talent and promote diversity and inclusion.
What is CBT for menopause?
Menopause Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) is a tailored form of counselling support that helps to manage the symptoms of menopause. The therapy covers:
- How to manage problematic symptoms such as hot flushes and night sweats
- Effective strategies for managing anxiety and depression
- Functional ways to reduce stress and overly negative thoughts that can make symptoms worse
- How to manage your support network, find a relaxation routine and practise mindfulness
