It can be a difficult time knowing when, how or what to do to support so I hope this is a helpful guide. I\u2019m joined by Steve Foulger (Director of HR Services &amp; Organisational Design at Connor) \u2013 you may have heard my episode about menopause in the workplace with Steve for Connor Conversations podcast (link below if you haven\u2019t) but this time we\u2019re switching roles and Steve is guest and so I\u2019d like to know his thoughts on menopause in the workplace and his experience of supporting women going through the menopause.  Do you know much about menopause? Examples of where you\u2019ve experienced complex menopause absence cases? Advice on starting a menopause conversation From a partner point of view, what would you advise? Does male menopause exist?  Menopause awareness is building in terms of awareness of symptom management options and also how partners, friends and colleagues can support women through this chapter. If you follow me on social media you may have seen I spoke at the BMS annual conference in Apr. I spoke about nutrition and menopause, and as a menopause specialist (in addition to being a nutritionist) I\u2019m passionate about supporting both women and the workplace to raise awareness.
