In this webinar Sue Porter (BSc, MSc, FRSPH) from the Wellbeing Clinic Essex shares insight into Men’s health and highlights risk factors for Men’s health, what signs and symptoms to look for, as well as how to get tested and treated promptly.

In this webinar we discussed

UK Statistics show that men see their GP half as often as women do, which is a concerning reality, especially when considering more than 4 in 10 cancers are preventable.  Prostate cancer is the most common cancer in men with more than 30,000 diagnosed each year in the UK. Sue discusses the signs and symptoms in later stages and how a simple blood test can detect prostate cancer early.

Testicular Cancer affects 1 in 250 men, mostly common in men aged between 20 to 34 and is one of the most treatable cancers if caught early. Sue discusses the signs and symptoms and impresses the importance of regular checking, as well as how and when.

In the UK, 1 in 6 men die from heart disease. Sue discusses the risk factors and how men can make small lifestyle changes before experiencing a cardiac event to improve their heart health.

Between age 40-60 testosterone levels in men suddenly drop significantly causing stress, reduced libido or motivation, sometimes weight gain and mental ill health. This male hormone fluctuation is known as ‘andropause’ and can significantly affect men in their day to day lives and in their performance at work. Sue shares more information on diagnosis and treatment.

Sue closes by discussing how men have a completely different hormonal system which can cause them to compartmentalise stress (harder to spot signs) and react more aggressively. Stress can cause constant fatigue and burnout, often with signs manifesting in the workplace. 1 in 8 men have a diagnosed mental health condition and suicide is the biggest cause of death in men under 45, making it a highly important topic to end this highly informative webinar.

In this webinar our guest speaker Sue Porter discusses very openly about a few key areas involving women’s health, and why women’s health in the workplace is so important.

In this webinar we discussed

We looked at the statistics surrounding women’s health, 1 in 7 UK females will be diagnosed with breast cancer, there are approximately 7,400 new ovarian cancer cases each year, and this is increasing, more than 4 in 10 cancer cases can be preventable with early detection, 1 in 5 women in the UK have a mental health problem and too much alcohol consumption can increase the risk of female cancers.

We explored the three main female cancers, breast, cervical and ovarian, and the key signs on what to look out for, and what to do if you have a concern. The different types of screening for cancer that is available, and how and where to get the screening. We also discussed two further areas that affect women in the workplace, these areas are the menopause and stress. The menopause can be challenging for some women whilst they are going through the peri menopause and the menopause, and how some of the symptoms and side effects of the menopause can affect a woman and her work.

Life can be busy, and effectively managing a healthy balance of stress at work is so important, if someone is over worked or over stretched, this could result in someone being overburdened and stressed out, and the affect this may have, could potentially have a detrimental impact on their health.

The final part of the webinar was discussing the further supports that are available to help and support women health in the workplace.

In today’s fast-paced and demanding work environment, stress has become an unwelcome companion for many professionals. The pressure to meet deadlines, exceed expectations, and juggle multiple responsibilities can take a toll on our well-being. One hormone that plays a significant role in our stress response is cortisol. View our webinar, “From Burnout to Balance: Taming Cortisol and Conquering Stress in the Modern Workplace,” where we dive into the science behind cortisol and its impact on our mental and physical health. Discover practical strategies and techniques to effectively manage stress, build resilience, and create a healthier work-life balance. Don’t let cortisol call the shots – empower yourself with knowledge and tools to reclaim control over your well-being in the workplace.

In this webinar we discussed

We looked at the statistics surrounding stress in the workplace, the science of stress hormones and the physiological roles they have in terms of our ability to function, our mood, feelings, motivation, performance and energy levels. We looked at how these affect team working, blood glucose levels, cravings, weight changes, vitamin levels and the regulation of other key hormones.

We explored the implications of how stress in the workplace impacts on all aspect of the employee-employer relationship.

An employment contract is a legally binding agreement that sets out the terms of employment between the employer and the employee. However, what happens when the employer wants to change one or more of those employment terms? Maybe they are seeking to harmonise employment terms for their employees or perhaps they have some new or emerging business needs that require a change of terms for one or more employees. Whatever the drivers for change, changing employment terms can be fraught with risk….especially if the employee does not agree or consent to those changes!

What does that mean for employers? Are they bound to NEVER change employment terms if the employee doesn’t agree? In short, terms can be changed and though ideally that is with the consent of the employee, it is important to know what to do to when consent cannot be reached. In both situations, the means to achieve a change if terms must be carefully and thoughtfully managed to minimise the risk as far as is possible.

In this Employment Law webinar, “To change or not to change? That is the question”’, we explore how changes to employment terms can be effectively managed and how the proposed new Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy (BEIS) Code of Practice for managing ‘dismissal and re-engagement’ when changing terms is going to impact employers.

Essex Chambers of Commerce are delighted to be partnering with Kingswood Group Ltd on a series of Menopause Awareness sessions.

A first for the Chambers we are excited to be bringing our Members this topical, important and informative webinar that will help you gain the knowledge and insight into how you can work with your employers to create an inclusive and supportive work environment for yourself.

This webinar provides you, as an employee, with valuable insights and practical strategies to support you during menopause.

By acknowledging and accommodating the challenges faced during this life transition, employers can promote employee well-being, boost productivity, and foster a culture of equality and inclusivity within their organisation.

Menopause is a natural stage in every woman’s life that can, for some, have devastating effects on their health and wellbeing. With just over 72% of women at working age (ONS 2023), we can assume many of these women will experience menopause during their working lifetime, so it is essential for employers to understand and address the unique challenges faced by their female employees during this, often, challenging period.

We will look at the common effects of the menopausal period, dispelling some of the more common myths and misconceptions. We will explore how menopause affects each woman differently and how those affects can be addressed effectively and empathetically in the workplace.

This webinar will provide practical guidance to you on how you can work with your employers to create a supportive work environment while experiencing menopause. We will discuss topics such as;

• • flexible work arrangements
  • reasonable adjustments
  • accommodations that can help alleviate symptoms and enhance productivity.

We will focus on the importance of open communication channels, reducing stigma, and fostering a culture of empathy and understanding.

Date: Wednesday 18th October 2023 12.00pm to 1.00pm
