Theme

Dr Katy Marsh-Davies will present the findings of her research which explored the experiences of professional services employees working in a hybrid mode (i.e. a mix of home and office based work) whilst experiencing menopause. She found examples of how menopause symptoms were both alleviated and aggravated by hybrid working and considers the implications for workers and employers.
