October 18 is Menopause Day, a phase of life that can bring many changes for women. Menopause is a natural phase, but it can be accompanied by a series of challenges and changes in the body, which can cause both physical and mental complaints. At Femme Vitaal, we understand the unique needs of women during this transition period. Our advisors are there to support managers and employees in finding solutions for employee employability.
Breaking taboos
Talking about women-specific complaints is still taboo. 94% of women do not indicate that their symptoms are menopause-related when reporting sick. These symptoms not only lead to absenteeism, but unfortunately also often cause disruptions in the working relationship. Lack of understanding and incorrect guidance (or a lack thereof) are often the cause of this. One in five women even fears for their job if they discuss their complaints at work. This has to change!
Femme Vitaal is there to support women in finding ways to deal with these complaints. There are various approaches that can help improve her vitality. Women can ask personal questions, discuss complaints, and receive tailored advice and practical tips about work, nutrition, exercise, and lifestyle. How can she organize her own life differently, adjust her working conditions, get and stay fit, and thus gain more control over the menopause? Femme Vitaal also supports managers in making the subject discussable and breaking the taboo in the workplace. We are ready to listen to experiences and discuss possible solutions.
We also offer interactive workshops and the option of using Femme Vitaal on location for walk-in consultation hours.
