Pamela Windle, a Certified Woman's Health Coach from Nottingham, discusses her personal and professional journey addressing women's health issues, particularly menopause, in the workplace.
Pamela shares her story from struggling in school, working in health and fitness, facing health challenges, and eventually finding her calling as a women's health advocate.
Her experience with perimenopause and subsequent health transformation led her to work with organisations to implement supportive workplace policies and practices.
Pamela emphasises the importance of recognising and addressing women's health issues in the workplace, not just through awareness but by providing practical support and understanding. She also discusses her educational experiences and overcoming misconceptions about menopause, aiming to change cultural perspectives on women's health.
Pamela provides guidance on how employers can create a more inclusive and supportive work environment. She also highlights the economic impact of not supporting women's health in the workplace and encourages a broader conversation about these topics.
