We have recently worked with Jo Pontikos to begin our work around the Menopause conversation in the workplace.
Jo worked closely with us to identify our need and how best to approach and structure the discussion for our teams.
Jo attended an initial meeting with our Head of Departments to introduce the conversation and to enable openness and understanding at a leadership level. This was followed by open group sessions for all staff to attend with the opportunity for 121 time with Jo.
The sessions were received very positively with an appreciation of the willingness and openness to learn and understand the challenges faced by many. Jo’s style is always warm, open, understanding and supportive and she would encourage a relaxed environment where participants felt comfortable to share their own experiences and challenges.
For us this is the start of the conversation, and we hope to continue this work on an ongoing basis to further support our teams.
