CORPORATE WELL-BEING PROVIDER ONECARE SOLUTIONS CALLS FOR SERIOUS ATTENTION TO ISSUES SURROUNDING MENOPAUSE AT WORK

During a series of workshops and Q&A sessions, recently hosted by leading wellbeing provider OneCare Solutions, under their corporate wellness programme, one clear theme emerged: Menopause at work must be taken more seriously in the corporate environment.

"Women above 40 are the fastest-growing demographic in the workplace and are often in leadership positions while also dealing with the challenges of menopause," says Marinos Kokkinis, Managing Director of OneCare Solutions. "Supporting women in this transitional period of their lives is fundamental in order to ensure productivity and continuity with the highly experienced women in senior positions."

OneCare Solutions is a leading health and wellbeing platform whose primary offering is a collection of services for the maritime industry including, trainings, medical advisory and medical inventory management, telemedicine, nutrition consulting, public health support and mental health support to seafarers around the globe.

During the 'Menopause at Work' event, sessions led by doctors and specialists covered topics including osteoporosis, sexual and mental health, diet, and exercise. The sessions provided practical advice for women and also gave an overview of the type of support an employer can offer, including flexible working arrangements, exercise classes at work, and access to nutritionists and mental health support.
