Overview

Having a 'funny moment' isn't usually very funny at all. Although menopause is a totally normal and natural part of ageing, the symptoms that come with it can have a real impact on someone's life. That includes at work as well as in private, so it's important that managers have a degree of understanding about menopause and what some of their staff members might be going through.
