There are currently around 2 million working 40+ women in The Netherlands. Never before have so many women of 'transition age' been active in the labour market. 80% state that they experience symptoms from menopause. The menopause is an important and often undiscussed topic in society and also at work. Commonly unknown complaints: palpitations, migraines, joint complaints, mood complaints, poor sleep, fatigue, and concentration problems. Research also shows that due to lack of knowledge and shame, women do not talk to HR professionals and/or managers about menopause symptoms. This can lead to lower productivity, reduced job satisfaction and absenteeism among this group of women.
It is well known that (transition) hormones can have a lot of impact on mood, work and vitality. As VU, we think it is important to pay attention to this and ensure greater knowledge and understanding and have an eye for women at all stages of life. That is why we organize the training course 'Vitality and the menopause', which gives you knowledge about how hormones work, as well as paying attention to health, nutrition, lifestyle, stress, rest and relaxation. Boost your knowledge and awareness of this stage of life and sign up! The language of communication of this training is Dutch.
