Menopause - Breaking the Taboo

Hi everyone, a slight change of schedule this week as we bring to you something a little different to our usual format. Last week I chaired a panel discussion with the ISC Group, focused upon 'Understanding the Menopause' along with Sian Fisher, CEO at the Chartered Institute of Insurance, Helen Dick, Senior Manager Underwriting & Claims Strategy at Scottish Widows and Christine Husbands, Managing Director at Red Arc.This podcast, recorded from the live panel discussion which was broadcast Thursday 15th April, explores how the menopause impacts a woman's work life, and how employers can ensure they are providing the necessary support. The panel also touched on how we can work to break the taboos surrounding menopause, and in doing so, support colleagues and clients better.The ISC Group is a business community that provides personal, professional and business development for women in insurance. Initially launched as a network for senior women in the UK, it's quickly developed into a global business community uniting women across the world.Below are links to resources you may find useful, that were mentioned in the podcast:• British Menopause Society - www.thebms.org.uk• Daisy Network - www.daisynetwork.org.uk• Manage My Menopause - www.managemymenopause.co.uk• Women’s Health Concern - www.womens-health-concern.org• Menopause Matters - www.menopausematters.co.uk/forum

When you set out to get things like life insurance, critical illness cover or income protection, many people do not think that they are going to hit any snags along the way. But! Insurance is a world of risk and there are times that a persons circumstances will make insurers sit back and have an extra think about offering the insurance. Why?! This podcast is designed to answer that why. Kathryn Knowles is joined by guests to bring a clear and open chat about how insurance works. Kathryn brings her experience as a "quirky" life and the voice of the consumer to the discussion. She does this alongside her work as a specialist adviser, who is known for insuring the uninsurable.
