Manager Session

Menopause Training for Managers

Understand the stages and symptoms of menopause, recognise when team members may be struggling, and develop the confidence to offer sensitive, effective support.

Why This Matters

Menopause is one of the leading causes of talent loss in UK organisations — and most managers feel completely unprepared

Three in four menopausal women are in employment. Many are suffering in silence. When managers lack awareness and confidence, the cost is felt in absence, performance, and attrition — all of it preventable.

women have left a job due to menopause symptoms
A CIPD survey found that one in ten women have resigned from a role because of menopause symptoms — representing an enormous, preventable loss of experienced talent for UK employers.
45%
don’t feel comfortable discussing menopause with their manager
Nearly half of employees experiencing menopause symptoms don’t feel they can raise it with their manager. Awareness training changes the dynamic and opens the door to meaningful support.

The menopause demographic is overwhelmingly in the workforce — often in senior roles, at the peak of their career. Losing them costs far more than the investment in supporting them well.
What You’ll Learn

Skills to support employees through menopause with empathy and confidence

  • Understand the stages of menopause — perimenopause, menopause, and post-menopause — and the range of physical and psychological symptoms
  • Recognise the signs that a team member may be affected by menopause — including less obvious symptoms such as anxiety, brain fog, and low mood
  • Hold sensitive, supportive conversations that make it safe to disclose without fear of embarrassment or career impact
  • Understand reasonable adjustments — flexible working, temperature control, workload modification — and how to implement them fairly
  • Signpost employees to internal and external support resources, including occupational health and employee assistance programmes
  • Create a team culture where menopause is treated as the legitimate health matter it is — not a taboo or a performance conversation
Who This Is For

For any manager who wants to lead with empathy and keep valued team members supported

This session is open to managers of any gender. You don’t need to have personal experience of menopause to be a great source of support — you just need the knowledge and confidence to start the conversation.

How It Works

How Menopause Training for Managers is delivered

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

Tailored Onboarding

We start by understanding your workforce demographics, any existing menopause policies, and the specific challenges your managers are most likely to face — so the content is grounded in your reality.

2

Training Delivery

An evidence-based, interactive session delivered onsite or online. Managers leave with practical tools, greater confidence, and clear language to use in real conversations.

Sustained Impact

Post-training resources and conversation guides help managers continue applying what they’ve learned — so the impact extends well beyond the training day itself.
