Panel Discussion | Menstrual & Menopausal Health in The Workplace

Kirsten MacQuarrie, Sector Development Manager at CILIP Scotland and creator of the WINspiration series, will chair the panel, and we are delighted to be joined by Professor Vanessa Beck, Professor of Employment Studies, University of Bristol. Professor Beck has been researching menopause in the workplace since she co-authored a report on the effect of menopause transition on women’s economic participation in the UK for the Government Equalities Office (GEO) in 2017.

In programming this session, CILIP Conference seeks to open a space where we can explore and humanise the unique challenges and experiences of working with (and within) hormonal cycles and transitions. And to consider what a truly supportive work culture looks and feels like. The central question being: How might we, collectively, co-create a shift towards more regenerative ways of working and being for a work force of circa 75 per cent women and/or people who menstruate?

Day 2- Thursday 3rd July
