How Leaders Can Better Support Menopause

About this episode

This episode explores how leaders can better support employees experiencing menopause in the workplace.

In this episode of Tap’d Talks HR, Anthony steps out of his comfort zone to explore a topic that quietly affects huge numbers of people at work: menopause and perimenopause. Anthony is joined by Sam Mancey, consultant, business coach and specialist menopause coach, to unpack what menopause really looks like in the workplace and why you can’t afford to ignore it. Sam explains how seemingly “out of nowhere” anxiety, brain fog, confidence crashes and broken sleep can derail even the most capable, senior women - often right at the peak of their careers. Whether you’re in HR, a line manager, or a senior leader, this episode will help you understand menopause in a more human, practical way, and give you ideas to better support the people around you.
