This online conference is for anyone who is interested in exploring the importance of wellbeing in the workplace.

The conference will be separated into two different but related days, as follows:

Day 1: Fostering Wellbeing for a Thriving Workplace
Day 2: Navigating the Menopause Journey

On each day delegates will have an opportunity to share best practice and exchange viewpoints on various approaches. They will also be able to reflect on the challenges and possible solutions to address wellbeing deficits in today’s workplace.

It is anticipated that this conference will facilitate networking opportunities and future initiatives for professionals, organisations and advocates interested in advancing wellbeing and menopause inclusivity in the workplace.

We invite researchers, scholars, healthcare professionals, activists, and individuals with personal experiences and examples of good practice related to the nurturing of wellbeing in the workplace (day 1) or the management of the challenges of menopause (day 2) to submit abstracts for presentation at the conference.
