Awareness Session

Menopause Awareness Training

Help your whole workforce understand what menopause is, reduce stigma and silence, and build the kind of allyship that keeps experienced colleagues supported, valued, and retained.

Why This Matters

Nearly three in four UK working women aged 40 to 60 have experienced menopause symptoms, and many are suffering in silence because their workplace doesn’t feel safe to speak

Menopause is one of the most significant women’s health issues in the UK workforce — and one of the least talked about. Whole-workforce awareness is what shifts the culture from one of silence and shame to one of understanding and active support. Our World Menopause Day 2026 article looks at what the CIPD figures mean for employers.

73%
of UK working women aged 40 to 60 have experienced menopause symptoms
Menopause is not a niche issue. In CIPD’s 2023 survey of 2,185 UK working women aged 40 to 60, 73% had experienced symptoms related to menopause transition and 57% were experiencing them at the time, often without support or acknowledgement at work.
1 in 6
have considered leaving work due to a lack of menopause support
CIPD’s 2023 research found that 17% of UK working women aged 40 to 60 with menopause symptoms have considered leaving work due to a lack of support, and a further 6% have left.
12%
say they have been discriminated against because of their menopause symptoms
In CIPD’s 2023 survey, 12% of UK working women aged 40 to 60 with menopause symptoms said they had been discriminated against because of them, most often through a lack of support or understanding. Awareness training directly addresses the misunderstanding and discomfort that drives this.

Who This Is For

For the whole workforce — because building a menopause-supportive culture is everyone’s responsibility

This session is open to employees of any gender. You don’t need personal experience of menopause to benefit — in fact, this training is most powerful when it reaches colleagues who have never had to think about it before.

👥All Employees

Any team member who wants to understand menopause, become a better ally, and contribute to a culture where colleagues feel safe to seek support.

👤Team Leaders

Those who influence the daily team environment and want to ensure that menopause is not a source of disadvantage or discomfort for colleagues in their team.

📋HR & DEI Teams

People and inclusion professionals building a menopause policy and looking for a credible, sensitive awareness session to anchor cultural change.

How It Works

How Menopause Awareness Training is delivered

Tailored to your organisation’s specific context — not a generic awareness session delivered off the shelf.

1

Tailored Onboarding

We start by understanding your organisation’s current culture and any existing menopause policies or provisions — so the session builds on what’s already in place rather than creating confusion.

2

Training Delivery

An engaging, evidence-based session delivered onsite or online. Employees leave with greater understanding, practical allyship skills, and a sense of shared responsibility for creating a supportive culture.

3

Sustained Impact

Post-training resources and signposting guides give employees somewhere to turn — and help organisations maintain momentum beyond a single training session.
