LET'S TALK ABOUT Menopause Awareness for Leaders.

Each year, 900,000 women leave work through lack of support around the menopause.  With this being the fastest growing demographic, it is hugely important that business retains this valuable talent by providing support and awareness throughout the organisation, of the menopause.  This will ensure reduced absenteeism, increased well-being and improve the organisation culture.

This half-day informative, theatre-based learning session, delivered by our specialist Menopause Coach, enables leaders of all levels to determine practical ways to support individuals experiencing challenges due to peri-menopause or menopause, and how to create and implement a menopause-supportive organisational culture.

Attendees to this course must first take our ‘Introduction to Menopause Awareness’ course, either digitally or via our Virtual Classroom.

What will I do on the day?

Using observational theatre and lots of discussion, this workshop engages participants on an emotional level by showcasing different conversations and how these can be handled, exploring the skills and behaviours we need to utilise as managers and leaders to ensure positive, supportive outcomes.

We’ll also work through the changes organisations can make to ensure they’re providing an inclusive, modern working environment and culture.

embedding the learning.

Using a theatre-based learning approach to this course, we create a safe, judgement free space where we can explore the skills and techniques required to have good conversations about the menopause.

Because we work through these first hand using observation and in some cases, real play, learning is experiential and thus more memorable.

Some faq's about our Menopause Awareness for Leaders Training.

0.1 What is Theatre based learning?

Theatre Based Learning is the technique we use to bring learning to life by using our actors to perform scenarios, based on real case studies.

Theatre Based Learning can be either observational (where learners watch scenes and discuss) OR participative (where we use techniques like real-play and practice, forum where learners interact with the actors and direct them or hot-seating where learners give feedback to individual characters and make suggestions). This course uses our actors to both demonstrate presentation skills and often made mistakes and techniques with the ability for all learners to present and receive feedback

0.2What are the benefits of Menopause Awareness for Leaders training?
• With nearly 4 million working women in the UK aged between 45 -55, it’s highly likely that your organisation includes individuals currently experiencing the menopause transition. Failure to provide a menopause-supportive and inclusive working environment could result in your business losing the knowledge and experience of these employees, and finding it harder to attract new talent. Even if these employees do choose to stay, a lack of awareness in the organisation of the challenges of this life-stage for women could result in reduced productivity, increased absence and decreased morale. Supporting your leaders & managers to confidently handle menopause-related conversations, and empowering them to contribute to organisational changes will demonstrate your organisation’s commitment to supporting menopausal employees in the workplace, and your reputation as a modern, inclusive employer. Each year, 900,000 women leave work through lack of support around the menopause.  With this being the fastest growing demographic, it is hugely important that business retains this valuable talent by providing support and awareness throughout the organisation of the menopause.  This will ensure reduced absenteeism, increased well-being and improve the organisation culture.

Discussing and learning in the traditional ‘class-room’ is effective, but long-term memory is better stimulated by having an experience. Our approach using experiential and drama-based learning methods delivers this and leads to more sustained learning.

    sustained blended learning.

    Our training is observational and participative, using teams of actors to bring it to life. We recognise that taking part in role-play is not for everyone, so we offer observational training – this is where two of our acting team demonstrate scenes related to the course and delegates observe and comment on the behaviors. Where a business is more confident working with actors, we take this to the next level with participative training so delegates get to practice their newly learnt skills.
