Menopause can be a long and uncomfortable uphill journey for many women over 40. Yet, it is seldom talked about, especially at the workplace. To provide a safe space for our people to understand the transition so they can better prepare for it, #AIA Malaysia’s MY Women’s Network hosted an open discussion on the topic, featuring guest speakers Premitha Damodaran and Tracy Minnoch-Nuku at our head office in Kuala Lumpur recently. Thank you, Dr Premitha and Tracy, for educating us on the varying symptoms, the practical lifestyle changes involving exercise and nutrition one can make to manage the symptoms, and workplace adjustments that could support colleagues to continue to thrive professionally. We hope that our colleagues feel confident and supported to take charge of their wellbeing during this important lifestage change so they can continue to live their best lives. #LifeAtAIA #BelieveInBetter #WomenAtWork #WomensNetwork

Menopausal women are the fastest-growing demographic in the workplace. Are we doing enough to support them? As the menopause experience can differ from woman to woman, it can feel like an impossible feat to understand what support is needed, but you don’t need to be an expert in menopause, the symptoms, and the medical nuances to support women in the workplace. It's understanding the needs of women which is crucial to create a psychologically safe work environment. Even a simple question such as ‘What can I do to support you?’ can greatly benefit women through this normal transition. Support could look like: ✅ Creating or adjusting the work from home policy ✅ Providing equipment like a desk fan, or blanket ✅ Regular Check ins (if this is what has been suggested as much needed support) ✅ Not shying away from the conversation If you’d like more information about supporting women through menopause, we created a FREE eBook to help you better equip yourself, employees, and workplace wellbeing strategy.

How can YOU support women experiencing menopause? It's time ⏰ to discuss an essential but often overlooked aspect of workplace well-being: menopause. Creating an inclusive workplace environment is crucial for the development of a positive company culture. The impact of menopause can be detrimental to one's overall health. According to a study by Bank of America, the daily impact in the lives of peri-menopause and postmenopausal employees include: ⭐ Lack of quality sleep (45%) ⭐ Mental health/mood (30%) ⭐ Physical health (20%) ⭐ Relationships with family/partner (20%) ⭐ Ability to focus on work (17%) ⭐ Daily activities (15%) ⭐ Career progression (9%) Additionally, the new BofA report finds 64% of women want menopause-specific benefits, yet only 14% believe their employer recognizes the need for them. Seven ways employers can make their workplace environment more inclusive for women experiencing menopause consists of: encouraging open dialogue, flexible work arrangements, wellness programs, educational resources, comfortable workspace, managerial sensitivity, and policy review. By creating a workplace that recognizes and supports women going through menopause, your company can contribute to a culture of empathy and inclusivity. #employeewellbeing #inclusiveworkplace #menopauseawareness

For our latest Senior People Professionals Network event we brought our senior communities in Scotland and Northern Ireland together online to discuss women’s health in the workplace. rachel suff and Claire McCartney from CIPD talked about CIPD’s latest research in the areas of menopause and menstruation. We heard that: · More than 1 in 4 (27%) women with menopause symptoms think menopause has had a negative impact on their career progression. · Over half of women surveyed (53%) have been unable to go into work at some point due to their menopause symptoms and most felt unable to tell their manager the reason for their absence. · Around half of employees (49%) said they never tell their manager when their absence is related to their menstrual cycle. · Low-cost/highly valued ways for employers to help include having free period products available, relaxed clothing policies, providing access to a break room, and encouraging open conversations where appropriate. Jill Burgess (FCIPD) and Michelle Rayner - Menopause Workplace Training Network shared real world examples of good practice in industry, and discussed how Henpicked: Menopause in the Workplace training is helping organisations across the UK. The session ended with attendees joining breakout groups to discuss ways of overcoming barriers and implementing improved practices, and each decided on one thing we would do differently to make effective change. Thanks to everyone for your enthusiastic participation. Thanks to all of our speakers and participants for another engaging session! Our next online event is on AI: Big wins and small wins.

Only 14% of workplaces are providing menopause wellbeing benefits - what a shocking stat especially in workplace wellbeing week. Keeping women well and working is a top business and ESG priority. But what priority does menopause get especially in investor backed, high growth companies? Be keen to hear your comments on that! But for high-growth companies aiming to hit key milestones, recognizing the needs of women experiencing menopause is crucial. Addressing menopause challenges is vital for HR, Wellbeing, Benefits, and D&I professionals but it can be really challenging for this often under-resourced and budget depleted community. Understanding the benefits women want and their broader impact on the workplace can be overwhelming, but it doesn't have to be. 📊 Check out the new report from The Menopause Maze, detailing our new key research findings on the workplace benefits women want, how to leverage the economic opportunity, and actionable steps for employers. This report is a must-read for CEOs, HR, D&I, and leaders charged with wellbeing in growth companies. Investors, take note too! 🚀 Ready to make a difference? 📥 Click here to download https://lnkd.in/ejRjMwxv #Menopause #HR #Wellbeing
