Menopause and Menstruation at work

[Angels1111]

There have been a load of seminars on menopause in the workplace recently at my work. The idea is to raise awareness and talk about how to manage symptoms. Managers are encouraged to make reasonable adjustments. This is similar at other workplaces.

I was just wondering why nothing is said about "managing the symptoms" of its younger sister, menstruation.
What am I completely missing?

I've just joined the company but once I've worked out the culture etc I might do!

Why did you quote the whole OP?

It’s quite good imo that people talk about all this stuff at work and also workplaces where you get free period products. I didn’t know much about peri until I went to one of these talks.

Oh goodness sorry you had to go through that

That's a good point actually, I do feel more forewarned

Four hour meetings with no proper breaks?

That sounds like an awful workplace with awful management.
