Featuring: Dr Kelly Teagle, Dr I-Ferne Tan, Thea O'Connor and Lynette Wesley - hosted by Natalie Chapman

Symptoms can result in women leaving the workforce and not seeking promotion. With a STEM skills crisis upon us, organisations cannot afford for their experienced women to be leaving the workforce early.

If you’re a woman experiencing menopause symptoms or you’re a manager responsible for women, then this is the online panel for you. Our panel of experts will discuss menopause symptoms and treatment, early onset and fertility, tips and tricks for handling menopause at work, and how to make your workplace menopause friendly.
