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.
Menopause is costing UK organisations experienced talent, and fewer than two in five women with symptoms feel supported by their manager
More than half of working women with menopause symptoms have been unable to go into work because of them at some point (CIPD, 2023). Many are suffering in silence. When managers lack awareness and confidence, the cost is felt in absence, performance and attrition, much of it preventable. Our World Menopause Day 2026 article looks at where that cost falls and what employers can do about it.
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
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.
Those managing teams directly who want to feel prepared, not caught off guard, when menopause affects someone in their team.
People and HR teams building a consistent, compassionate and legally-informed menopause support framework across the organisation.
Leaders who want to model a culture of openness and ensure menopause is treated as a workplace health priority — not a personal matter to manage alone.
