Menopause, Wellbeing & the Workplace
Supporting organisations to create informed, compassionate, and practical workplace responses to menopause whilst helping employees maintain wellbeing, confidence, and performance during this stage of life.
Menopause affects millions of employees across the UK workforce, yet many workplaces still feel uncertain about how best to provide support.
Symptoms can impact concentration, confidence, wellbeing, attendance, communication, and performance. At the same time, employees may feel reluctant to discuss their experiences, whilst managers often worry about saying the wrong thing or not knowing what support is appropriate.
This training provides practical, psychologically informed guidance to help organisations build awareness, confidence, and supportive workplace cultures where menopause can be discussed openly, respectfully, and without stigma.
Why This Training Matters
Menopause is not simply a health issue. It is a workplace wellbeing, inclusion, and retention issue.
Many employees experience physical, emotional, and psychological symptoms during perimenopause and menopause that can affect daily working life. Without appropriate understanding and support, employees may feel isolated, misunderstood, or consider reducing hours, changing roles, or leaving employment altogether.
Managers frequently report wanting to help but lacking confidence around conversations, workplace adjustments, and organisational responsibilities.
Creating menopause-aware workplaces can improve wellbeing, increase retention, strengthen inclusion, and help employees continue to thrive throughout this stage of life.
