Research Overview
My current research interest is the impact of perimenopause and menopause on women in the workplace. Women experience a wide range of symptoms which results in 1 in 10 women leaving the workplace. The aim of current research is to ensure this talent is retained in the workplace by ensuring women have the right support and that leaders and managers have the tools and confidence to support women.
I have received funding to work with the ACONF cohort to determine the impact of menopause at work historically which should help inform future research.
I have also received funding from the School of Psychology to supervise a PhD student to research impact of menopause in the workplace and to create a set of workplace interventions informed by psychology.
