Why It Matters

Three quarters of women experiencing menopause symptoms say it affects their ability to work — yet most organisations still have no formal support in place

Menopause is a workplace issue. With women over 50 being the fastest-growing workforce demographic in the UK, organisations that fail to provide menopause support are losing experienced, skilled employees they cannot afford to lose. Our training creates the awareness and confidence to change that.

3 in 4
women say menopausal symptoms affect their work performance
CIPD research consistently finds that the majority of women experiencing menopause report it as having a direct impact on their work — from concentration and memory to confidence, energy levels, and attendance. Most are managing this without any support from their employer.
1 in 10
women have left work due to menopausal symptoms
The British Menopause Society and CIPD have both found that a significant proportion of women experiencing severe symptoms have reduced their hours, turned down promotions, or left employment entirely. This represents an enormous loss of institutional knowledge and talent for the organisations involved.
45%
have taken time off work due to menopausal symptoms
Nearly half of women experiencing menopause have needed time off work as a result of their symptoms — yet many feel unable to disclose the real reason to their manager. Without awareness training, managers cannot provide the adjustments and support that could prevent absence entirely.

The Process

How we deliver menopause training

Every session is tailored to your organisation — not delivered off the shelf. Here is what working with us looks like.

1

Needs Assessment

We start with a free consultation to understand your organisation — the specific challenges you are facing around menopause support, your existing policies, and the outcomes that matter most to your people and leadership team.

2

Session Design

We recommend the most relevant sessions and tailor the content to reflect your sector, workforce demographics, and organisational context. Every example and conversation tool is calibrated to the realities your employees actually face.

3

Delivery & Follow-up

Sessions are delivered onsite or online in 30, 60, or 90-minute formats. Post-session resources help managers and employees embed the learning and sustain a more supportive culture long after the training day.

Proven Impact

Menopause training that retains your most experienced people

Women over 50 are the fastest-growing workforce segment in the UK. Organisations that invest in menopause support see measurable reductions in absence, improved retention of senior female talent, and a stronger reputation as an employer of choice. For every £1 invested in workplace mental health — which includes menopause support — organisations see £4.70 in return through reduced absence, lower turnover, and improved performance.

Common Questions

Frequently asked questions

What is menopause awareness training in the workplace?⌄
Workplace menopause training builds understanding and confidence around menopause across an organisation. For all staff, this means understanding what menopause is, how symptoms can affect colleagues, and how to be a more supportive workmate. For managers, it goes further — covering how to have sensitive conversations, what reasonable adjustments look like in practice, and how to create an environment where affected employees feel safe disclosing their symptoms. All sessions are tailored to your organisation.
Why do organisations need menopause training?⌄
Women over 50 are the fastest-growing demographic in the UK workforce, and three quarters of women experiencing menopause say it affects their work. Without training, managers often lack the knowledge or confidence to support affected employees — leading to avoidable absence, unnecessary resignations, and potential legal exposure under the Equality Act. Organisations with menopause policies in place consistently report improved retention, reduced absence, and higher trust scores among female employees.
Who should attend menopause awareness training?⌄
Menopause awareness training is for everyone — not just women experiencing symptoms. Building understanding across the whole workforce reduces stigma, makes it easier for colleagues to be supportive, and creates a culture where people feel safe raising the topic. Our dedicated manager session is designed specifically for people managers, covering the practical skills needed to respond well when a team member raises menopause as an issue. Many organisations run both sessions together to create consistent understanding at every level.
What is the difference between Menopause Awareness and Menopause for Managers?⌄
Menopause Awareness is designed for all employees and covers the fundamentals: what menopause is, how symptoms affect work, and what a supportive workplace looks like. Menopause for Managers goes further into the practical management skills — how to initiate and hold sensitive conversations, what reasonable adjustments might be appropriate, how to document and follow up, and how to balance support with fairness to the wider team. Both sessions are tailored to your organisation.
Can menopause training sessions be tailored to our organisation?⌄
Yes — all sessions are tailored before delivery. We start with a brief consultation to understand your specific context — your existing policies, any recent incidents or concerns, your workforce demographics, and the outcomes that matter most to your leadership team. The session content, examples, and signposting resources are then calibrated to your workplace. This is not a generic menopause talk; it is training designed to address the real challenges your organisation is navigating.
