is an online menopause awareness training course not going to work for you or your workplace
well that's okay you know your colleagues better than i do so if an online course isn't going to
cut it you want to know what your options are so in this video i'm going to help you with this
i'm going to give you three alternatives to offering an online menopause awareness
training course and one of your options might actually surprise you so let's get started your
first alternative is to provide a face-to-face and live menopause awareness workshop or talk
now i get it you and your colleagues are all zoom teams and webinared out
they want to be in the same room as each other and a menopause awareness trainer
and there are benefits that are face to face and live workshop can give you that an online course
can't a workshop or a talk enables a group of your colleagues to learn
from each other and the trainer and they're all in the same room together there can be
activities to help reinforce what they're learning questions can be asked and answered
experiences shared and awareness and a better understanding of menopause achieved in a group
but just so that you know workshops and talks can still eat into your budget and it can be
a real struggle to get everyone available at the same time that goes for your colleagues
and also the trainer that you want to work with and menopause well it can be a sensitive subject
so for some being in a room talking about menopause with others may not be everyone's
cup of tea so perhaps you don't want to source your menopause awareness training externally no
online courses no workshops no talks you want to do it yourself and i applaud you for that
committing your valuable time to researching what you need to know about menopause awareness
the numerous symptoms the many ways menopause related symptoms affect your colleagues both
at work and out of work menopause and the law how you can support your colleagues in the workplace
and where to sign post them so that they can get personal
help and support now there's certainly a wealth of knowledge out there to get you started however
i also know how busy you are that is one heck of a to-do list that you have there
and i can imagine it's going to take you quite a lot of time energy and effort to pull together the
information you need to start the conversation about menopause awareness in your workplace let
alone knowing where to start option number three now this might be the one that surprises you
you can do absolutely nothing doing nothing can seem the easiest and most hassle free option
and let's be honest with each other it's the cheapest option too but let me ask you this
what is the cost of not introducing menopause awareness training to your department your
business or organization now you may be under the impression that menopause is being talked about
so much more now and women can get access to lots of places for help and support with their
menopause related symptoms can't they and a fan on their desk you know should be enough to help with
hot flushes because that's what menopause is right wrong if it's your responsibility to retain your
talented staff to keep productivity levels at a good level and the reputation of your business or
organization intact and not be taken to a tribunal you want to have a way to introduce menopause
awareness and education to your workplace you may decide to consider how much could hiring new staff
cost how frustrated could your staff be at having to take on those extra responsibilities
how much time could it be to take to train someone to the same level as that person who has left and
how much could a tribunal cost you financially of course but not forgetting your organization's
reputation so there you have it yes you do always have a choice if you don't want to provide an
online menopause awareness training course you have options now one might have been a bit more
surprising than you thought it was going to be let me help you have comfortable conversations
