Managing Menopause

This week’s GFSB Wellness Series event on peri/menopause at work brought together Gibraltar’s business community to discuss support strategies for women experiencing this transition. UK data shows that 1 in 10 women leave work due to menopause symptoms, and while no local figures are available, the situation reflects similar challenges in Gibraltar.

Why does this matter?

With 3.5 million women over 50 in the UK workforce, addressing menopause in the workplace is crucial for retention and wellbeing (source: CIPD). These insights help Gibraltar’s businesses create more inclusive environments.

Who were the experts?

We especially thank the expert speakers for sharing their time and deep knowledge of peri/menopause with us. 

Dr. Reena Verdi: Managing peri/menopause

Suzi Wine: Physical strength during peri/menopause

MJ Feeke: Nutrition and lifestyle support

Thanks too to Wellness Series sponsors, Infinity Group and Freska, for the lovely lunch. We are busy working on the next event in the series – keep your eyes on our socials and save the 21st November in your calendar.
