Optical professionals discuss menopause support in the workplace ahead of World Menopause Day 2025.
According to Lou Furby, Specsavers senior events and communication manager and MenoTalk founder, menopause can affect a woman's confidence and result in a diverse range of symptoms.
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 the impact of menopause on her life.
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, in 2021.
