Breaking the Silence: Menopause in the Workplace - Clare Louise-Knox | VETchat by The Webinar Vet - a podcast by Ben Sweeney

This VETChat episode is part of our series on supporting and empowering women in veterinary, hosted by Kathryn Bell. This is the third episode in our series for Menopause Awareness Week 2023. Joining Kathryn today is Clare Louise-Knox, a Business Psychologist (MSc) specialising in women’s health at work.

In this episode, we demystify the fundamentals of menopause. Clare shares common symptoms and challenges faced during menopause, especially in demanding fields like veterinary medicine. We explore strategies for maintaining a successful career during this phase and discuss proactive steps employers and practice managers can take to create inclusive workplaces. Discover how women can initiate conversations about their needs with their managers, and how veterinary colleagues can offer support. Success stories from organisations effectively addressing menopause-related challenges are shared, and we envision a future of positive changes in how society and workplaces handle menopause. For those looking to make practical changes, Clare offers support and guidance. Join us in empowering women through understanding and support in the workplace.
