OxTalks is Changing
OxTalks will soon move to the new Halo platform and will become 'Oxford Events.' There will be a need for an OxTalks freeze. This was previously planned for Friday 14th November – a new date will be shared as soon as it is available (full details will be available on the Staff Gateway).
In the meantime, the OxTalks site will remain active and events will continue to be published.
If staff have any questions about the Oxford Events launch, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
Menopause and the workplace
In October 2022, to support the launch of the University’s new guidance on menopause in the workplace, we partnered with Over the Bloody Moon to run a free online workshop Menopause: the last taboo. Nearly 300 colleagues joined us for this, with many others viewing the recording after the session. Many of our attendees had personal experience of menopause and were interested to learn more about how to identify and manage their own symptoms both at work and more generally.
On 7 February we are running a second session, this time targeting line managers, colleagues and anyone interested to know more. We hope this will enable better support of colleagues, family members and friends who are going through menopause.
The workshop is free and will be run via Zoom on 7 February from 12.30-1.30.
In the meantime, to find out more, and read case studies from colleagues around the University of their experience of menopause, go to the Menopause in the workplace webpages: hr.admin.ox.ac.uk/menopause-guidance
