Demystifying Menopause in the Workplace.
For International Women’s Day 2022 (IWD2022) we are dedicating the month of March to discuss the hidden issues that impact women in the workplace. In this webinar, we speak to Bernadette Thomas, Wellbeing Expert from The Wellbeing Games, and a small panel on how menopause impacts women in the workplace and what your organisation can do to support them during this time.
In the webinar we will:
• Define menopause and perimenopause – it’s not just an issue that affects women
• Explore the 34 recognised symptoms and how these impact women at home and work
• The hidden cost to business
• Address what organisations can do to promote and retain more women within this demographic in the workforce & how this benefits business

Margaret Haarhoff
Principal Consultant / Coach / Strategic Advisor – Consulting Make it Happen
After 20 years working in multitude of industries and countries, holding various senior People and Culture roles, Margaret has recently moved into her own business. She has a deep understanding of the complexities of organisations and the personal and professional opportunities that exist within. The impetus for Margaret’s change is her desire to work with a broader range of organisations and leaders to bring positive focus, growth and outcomes to people practices. Margaret holds a strong belief that wellbeing is fundamental to the sustainability of the workforce, driving performance and attracting and retaining the best people. There is no one size fits all approach. It is important that leaders are having the right conversations to ensure policies and above all else the organisation’s culture, supports diverse and inclusive practices.
