Hormone hurdles increase the challenges for women at work. There are peak challenges around pregnancy, juggling childcare with young kids and then around menopause. . Not all women will have kids but every woman goes through menopause. . Gender inequality in the workplace has been ignored for too long. A culture change is well overdue. . This is such a vital issue. The world needs gender balance in leadership roles. To achieve this women need support at key stages in there work life. . Investing in key aspects of organisational infrastructure in the workplace will ultimately achieve improved diversity, job satisfaction and retention in the workplace. This improves productivity. . Proactive rather than reactive healthcare support for female-specific health considerations is also important and results in better care at lower cost. . The DHSC women’s health strategy for England promises to address these inequalities. I really hope they deliver. . Everyone will benefit from these actions. Gender balance in senior leadership carries benefits to society of seismic proportions 🙌🏻 . . #menopause #perimenopause #midlifewomen #childcare #womenatwork #midlife #womenatwork #healthcare #midlifewellness #womeninbusiness #workingmum #femaleempowerment #femaleleadership #menopausewellbess #hrt #hormonebalance #hormones #hormonehealth #menopausehealth #lifestyle #perimenopausehealth #menopausesymptoms #genderinequality #genderequality #workingmum #women #womensupportingwomen
