The Lowdown

Women of menopausal age are the fastest growing UK working demographic, yet 25% of women have considered leaving work because of menopause symptoms. This equates to potentially catastrophic effects on economic turnover and long-term impacts on mental health. Recent reforms have recognised that employees experiencing menopausal symptoms are safeguarded under existing provisions of the Equality Act 2010. Employers are therefore obligated to ensure the health, safety and welfare of employees who are experiencing menopausal symptoms

Menopause Training

Workshops and training sessions are a great way to equip and empower both employees and the workplace to navigate and support those going through the menopause transition. In addition, menopause education promotes the message of well-being in the workplace and is a key strategy to attract and retain experienced talent.

In-house training and speaker engagements
