Information vs. Action
Do you have a menopause policy? Do you provide menopause awareness training in your workplace?
​
What about health & fitness education? Practical steps that your workforce can take to reduce the impacts of perimenopause and menopause.
​
Through providing education around menopause you are fulfilling a duty of care toward employees.
But how does this information work on a practical level? What is the purpose of the training? Are you supporting your workforce to create positive change to health outcomes?
​
To avoid the perception of menopause training as box-ticking, It's vital that you support your workforce to understand the steps that they can take to potentially reduce the impact of menopausal symptoms, and to make clear how you can support people to put these steps into practice.
This creates a mutually beneficial situation for employer and employee, as health outcomes are improved.
I understand this kind of programme can be time-consuming to compile, and requires a specialised approach.
This is where I can help.
As a CIMSPA-certified perimenopause and menopause personal trainer & mindfulness and nutrition coach, I can empower your employees to make changes in a realistic and sustainable way.
My approach is based around the promotion of health and the prevention of disease, and I offer a comprehensive package, the elements of which are detailed below. I am able to tailor the package and delivery to meet the needs of your workforce.
