About a third of the UK female population are peri or menopausal, however it still remains difficult to talk about and there is still too little awareness about what it is and how it’s experienced.
It usually occurs in mid-life, between ages 45-55, although the menopause is possible at any age. Most will get menopausal symptoms, but may not recognise them as such, or know who to talk to about it.
This webinar from the Bank Workers Charity looks at both the perimenopause (the transition into menopause) and the menopause, examines the current conversation about menopause and what we’re not talking about, and provides guidance on where to get specialised support.
It also looks at the huge impact of menopause in the workplace, and how some employers have become menopause-friendly.
This webinar is designed for, and open to, all genders.

In this webinar from the Bank Workers Charity, we’ll see how cancer is becoming a wellbeing priority in the workplace. We'll also look at the issues faced by someone living with cancer and consider the kinds of workplace support that can be most helpful to them. This is a free webinar and open to all members.
Every demographic has its own critical issues when it comes to healthcare. For men, two things stand out. The suicide rate is worryingly high, whilst prostate cancer is the most commonly diagnosed cancer in the UK. The persistence of these health issues and others among men is aggravated by their reluctance to visit their GP, to seek help from a counsellor or to ask for support. This is a free webinar, open to all members.
We've teamed up with the Bank Workers Charity to look at how we can create a work culture where it is safe to come forward to talk about abuse and access support. We also look at examples of the support available through the Bank Workers Charity. This is a free webinar, open to all members.
