Optical professionals discuss menopause support in the workplace ahead of World Menopause Day 2025.
Menopause can result in a diverse range of symptoms and affect a woman's confidence, according to Lou Furby, Specsavers senior events and communication manager and MenoTalk founder.
Something you hear quite often from women going through menopause is the phrase, 'I just don't feel like me'
Furby shared her personal experience, stating that it was only after gaining perspective that she realised how much menopause had affected her.
I now know, being back to my normal self, just how much of myself was missing for 10 years
Furby co-founded MenoTalk, a Specsavers colleague support network, which was rolled out in 2021.
