Information for managers & HR professionals
More and more women experience hormonal symptoms – from menstrual problems to menopausal symptoms – that affect their energy, concentration and job satisfaction. Yet these topics often remain undiscussed in the workplace, simply because managers and HR professionals do not always know exactly what is going on or how to start the conversation. That is a shame, because with the right knowledge, organizations can contribute a great deal to the well-being and sustainable employability of their employees, with a special focus on perimenopause.
As a gynecologist I see every day how much impact hormonal changes can have, both physically and mentally, from menstruation to perimenopause. But I also see how much difference it makes when women feel heard and supported. That is why I am committed to making reliable, scientifically based information about women's health accessible in the workplace, with a special focus on perimenopause.
With clear explanations, practical examples and concrete tools, I help managers find the right tone and better connect with what women need at different stages of their lives.
My information sessions are specially designed for managers and HR professionals who want to invest in understanding and talent retention. You will not only learn about the symptoms that can occur, but more importantly, what you can do to support your employees. And all this in a way that suits your role, team and organization.
Take a look at the options below and discover how you can make a big difference with small steps: less absenteeism, more job satisfaction and a work culture in which women feel seen and supported.
