Did you know? In Canada, 1 in 10 women leave their jobs due to unmanaged menopause symptoms, costing organizations an estimated $3.5 billion annually. Silence isn't just uncomfortable—it's expensive. Join Emma Carpenter (Workplace Wellness Strategist) and Bettina Makenbach (Registered Dietitian) from 12 Weeks to Wellness for an action-focused webinar on supporting employees through menopause—with both organizational wellness strategies and practical individual approaches.

Why this matters: Menopause affects productivity, retention, and team dynamics, yet most workplaces don't address it. While primarily affecting women, it can also impact transgender men and non-binary individuals. Whether you're an HR leader looking to better support your team or navigating menopause yourself, this webinar gives you practical tools you can use immediately.

What you'll learn:

Why menopause is a workplace wellness issue and how to make the business case

How to open conversations about menopause as part of workplace wellness

Wellness-focused workplace supports: flexibility options, environment considerations, and approaches to normalize the topic - Nutrition strategies to stabilize energy, improve sleep quality, and reduce hot flashes

Habit and lifestyle modifications that address brain fog and mood fluctuations

Practical recommendations employees can start using immediately.
