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: the last taboo (online workshop)
In support of World Menopause Month this October, join us for this awareness-raising workshop about menopause and how it affects colleagues, students and others in our lives. This will be held online, on Wednesday 12 October (12:30 – 13:30).
What does it have to do with me?
Talking about menopause is still a taboo in the workplace, and its potential impacts are still not widely understood. But being able to spot the signs early, and know how and where to seek support, leads to better outcomes for the person directly impacted. The session will get us thinking about how we can be better managers and colleagues, developing our empathy and learning about menopause support. The workshop will cover:
* Menopause in the workplace
* Variances, types, triggers, stages of menopause, diagnosis and how to spot the signs
* Symptom management and prevention
* Menopause allyship
* Support and resources
* Q&A
About the speaker
The session will be facilitated by Lesley Salem, founder of Over The Bloody Moon; a certified menopause health coach, podcast hostess of “The Change Makers” and regular commentator in the press. Over The Bloody Moon supports individuals and organisations, by removing the muddle of menopause.
