Programme Overview

Charting a New Course: Mindset shifts and cultural change in the maritime industry

Those of you who attended our Maritime People & Culture event in London earlier this year may have heard Torild speak about “The Perfect Storm”, highlighting how perimenopause can amplify the challenges of an already demanding life stage.

As part of Torild’s “Three C Approach,” where awareness work forms the cornerstone of the first C, “Conversation”, we are delighted to showcase her new awareness session on “Menopause and its impact in the workplace” which has been designed with employers in mind.

The maritime industry is at a pivotal moment. To ensure future sustainability and competitiveness, attracting and retaining female talent is essential. This requires significant cultural shifts and supportive initiatives that recognize and address the unique challenges women face during life transitions such as perimenopause.

Why it matters

● Eliminating Stigma: Open conversations and awareness help remove the shame and stigma often associated with menopause.
● Building Psychological Safety: Supporting women through transitions is crucial for retaining talent and fostering a healthy, productive workplace.
● Industry Leadership & Retention: Establishing a supportive culture promotes gender diversity and encourages more women to pursue maritime careers. In the UK, 1 in 10 women leave the workplace due to lack of support for menopause symptoms (Fawcett 2022), and 1 in 4 consider doing so.

Programme details

The programme runs on-line in September and is delivered in a 60-90 minute awareness session followed by a Q&A with Torild.
