Starting this year, Health and Global Policy Institute (HGPI) will be organizing breakfast study session for individual supporting members and those interested in health care policy from various fields.
The lecture for the second session will be given by Ms. Helen Tomlinson, Head of Talent (UK & Ireland) at The Adecco Group / Menopause Employment Champion, The Adecco Group.

Helen Tomlinson is Head of Talent and Inclusion (UK and Ireland) for the Adecco Group, the global leader in HR solutions, and the first “Menopause Champion” appointed by the UK government to promote the adoption and expansion of comprehensive corporate policies regarding menopause. The Adecco Group was the first private company in the UK to design and implement a menopause plan. Since then, Helen has supported companies of all sizes to create supportive environments, encourage open conversations, and help women thrive at work throughout their life stages. Helen will deliver a lecture titled, “– No Time To Step Back – how cultural workplace change can help women thrive and surpass their potential” based on her insights and experiences gained through her work. She will talk about menopausal measures receiving increased attention, and we hope this lecture will deepen the understanding of this subject for all attendees.

■ Profile
Helen Tomlinson
Helen Tomlinson is the UK Governments first-ever Menopause Champion. Working alongside the Department for Work and Pensions, Helen helps employers develop policies that empower women experiencing menopause to stay and progress in work. Applying the principles of Education & Allyship creating Cultural Change, Helen has built a clearly defined sector based strategy to support women across all aspects of intersectionality throughout their career from a women’s health perspective. Advocating for gender equity is the common thread throughout Helen’s 30-year career in the recruitment and employability sectors. In addition to her voluntary Menopause Champion role, Helen is Head of Talent & Inclusion (UK and Ireland) for the Adecco Group, the global leader in HR solutions. Her pioneering podcast on menopause and work inspired the Adecco Group to design and implement one of the UK’s first corporate menopause policies. Since then, Helen has supported companies of all sizes to create supportive environments, encourage open conversations, and help women thrive at work through menopause and beyond. With three decades of experience across commercial management, sales, and strategic HR planning, Helen helps organisations realise the business benefits of an enlightened approach – and drives positive, pragmatic change for employers and their people.
