Why It Matters

Two thirds of working women with menopause symptoms say they have a mostly negative effect on them at work, yet many organisations still have no formal support in place

Menopause is a workplace issue. Before the pandemic, women over 50 were the fastest-growing group in the UK workforce (Women and Equalities Committee, 2022). Our training creates the awareness and confidence to support colleagues through the menopause. Our World Menopause Day 2026 article sets out five things employers can settle around the day.

working women with menopause symptoms say they have had a mostly negative effect at work
CIPD’s 2023 survey of UK working women aged 40 to 60 found that, of those negatively affected, 79% felt less able to concentrate and 68% felt an increased amount of stress. Only 24% of those surveyed say their organisation has a menopause policy or other support measures in place.

have considered leaving work due to a lack of menopause support
CIPD’s 2023 survey 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.
53%
of women with symptoms have been unable to go into work because of them
CIPD’s 2023 survey found that more than half of UK working women aged 40 to 60 with menopause symptoms have been unable to go into work at some point because of them, and 18% were off without telling their manager anything about their menopause or symptoms. Awareness training helps managers offer the adjustments and support that can help prevent absence.

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.

The retention case

Why menopause support matters for retention

CIPD’s 2023 research found that women with menopause symptoms who do not feel supported by either their employer or their manager are around five times more likely to have left work than those who do. More widely, Deloitte estimates that employers see an average return of £4.70 for every £1 invested in the mental health and wellbeing of their people. (CIPD, 2023; Deloitte, 2024)

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?⌄
Before the pandemic, women over 50 were the fastest-growing group in the UK workforce (Women and Equalities Committee, 2022), and two thirds of working women with menopause symptoms say they have a mostly negative effect on them at work (CIPD, 2023). 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. CIPD’s 2023 research also found that women with menopause symptoms who do not feel supported by either their employer or their manager are around five times more likely to have left work than those who do.
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.
