What a wonderful training program this has been, informative, timeframe friendly with our busy schedules and engaging. I am now more confident to start awareness in my workplace to better support my team.
This has been a great course that's led to discussion on Menopause at work, which is now filtering through to a number of teams already. Thank you for the excellent resources and the course, it was very well structured. I really achieved my goals to start the conversation and help staff.
A very valuable training program. I now have the awareness and strategies to confidently start a conversation with my team. The training provided sufficient time to reflect and process information, in particular the short concise lessons provided easy to digest information and made it easier to complete modules at my own pace and kept the training engaging.
