Gain insights and strategies to transform menopause from a taboo topic into a key talent strategy at this webinar in recognition of International Women’s Day.

Did you know that by 2031, nearly one in three Australian workers will be aged over 50, with women making up a significant share of this experienced talent pool? Yet, menopause, which affects 52 per cent of the population, remains a silent career disruptor, impacting engagement, performance, retention, and leadership pipelines. The cost? Lost expertise, productivity, and business growth.

Building menopause-friendly workplaces isn’t just about support – it’s about unlocking workforce potential, ensuring business resilience, and fostering inclusive leadership.

Key Takeaways

· Understand the business case: How menopause impacts women and work

· Create a supportive culture: Reduce the stigma, normalise conversations, and educate leaders

· Implement practical strategies: From workplace adjustments to policies that enable women to thrive

· Future-proof your workforce: Attract and retain skills and talent to support growth.

Menopause isn’t just women’s business; it’s everyone’s business. When women thrive, so does your organisation.
