The topic of women's health support in the workplace is so fascinating to me. It is great to see the amount of discussion increasing as we dive into areas that have not gone very deep before. One such topic is Menopause (and perimenopause) in the workplace. In these discussions it is amazing how small things can make such a big impact on the female employee. But there is still more to know when it comes to the challenges in the workplace to institute support. So, for my employer friends, if you don't mind can you tell us what you're encountering? We really hope to develop insights from these survey results that can help you with the challenges or goals you have. #menopause #employersurvey #workplacesupport

This is one of the many projects we did for the NSW Government! 🌟 In this animated video, we looked into the natural phases of perimenopause, menopause, and post-menopause, shedding light on the changes every woman experiences. From irregular menstrual cycles to navigating symptoms like hot flushes and mood swings, this video aims to empower and inform. As someone who values open dialogue, I'm curious: What strategies have you found helpful in navigating perimenopause and menopause in your personal or professional life? #MenopauseAwareness #WomenEmpowerment #PunchyDigitalMedia
