Description
This VETChat episode is part of our series on supporting and empowering women in veterinary, hosted by Kathryn Bell. This is the second episode in our series for Menopause Awareness Week 2023. Joining Kathryn today is Rob Williams, Head of Talent at VetPartners.
In this episode, we highlight the importance of involving men in Menopause Awareness Day discussions. Rob, a passionate advocate, shares his reasons for joining us today. We tackle common misconceptions, fostering a supportive work environment through education and explore how male colleagues and supervisors can best support women during menopause, benefiting the entire team. We emphasize the role of open communication in understanding and supporting women. Personal stories illustrate the positive impact of male support, and we provide key takeaways for male veterinary professionals seeking to be allies. We discuss whether better support during menopause can retain professionals in the field and recommend resources for men looking to learn about menopause. Join us for a conversation promoting inclusivity and understanding in the workplace.
