I’m Kate, based in Hong Kong where I’ve lived for 12 years, originally from the UK.
I work for an international professional services firm, leading diversity, equity and inclusiveness for Asia Pacific financial services.
I’m also a qualified personal trainer and a mental health advocate. I’m a new mum, and I’m passionate about women’s health in the workplace, work life balance and being able to be your true self at work.
Menopause has a disruptive impact on work. According to a recent study by the Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development, that number is as high as 60 percent for respondents.
Shockingly, one-third of them had to take sick leave to cope with their symptoms. It's evident that menopause is a significant and disruptive career event, comparable to having children.
