Menopause Training & Coaching for Workplaces
Menopause often happens at a point in women’s lives when they are at the peak of their professional careers
Yet without the right support, symptoms can affect confidence, performance, attendance and engagement — and experienced employees may end up leaving jobs they love, according to research from The Fawcett Society.
- 1 in 4 consider leaving due to menopause symptoms
- 1 in 10 have left due to menopause symptoms.
For employers, creating a menopause-friendly workplace isn’t simply about having a policy sitting on a shelf.
It’s about creating a culture where people feel able to talk, ask for support and make small changes that can make a big difference.
I help organisations develop practical menopause strategies that retain valuable talent, reduce menopause-related absence, improve performance and create a more inclusive workplace.
3 in 4 experience menopause symptoms.
For 25%, symptoms are severe. 35% of menopausal people report they have taken absence for their symptoms, but only 9% would disclose the real reason to their manager
Menopause can cause psychological symptoms which impact productivity.
76% experience lack of concentration, 70% experience stress and 67% experience a loss of confidence
52% of workers say wellbeing programmes are a must-have.
As Gen X and Millennials reach menopausal age, it will become an increasingly vital pillar in wellbeing strategies.
What we offer
Every organisation is different, so I can tailor support to your needs.
This can include:
Colleague Awareness Sessions
Give everyone the knowledge and understanding they need to have better conversations about menopause.
These sessions help colleagues understand what menopause is, how it can affect people at work and, importantly, how they can support themselves and others.
Manager Workshop Training
Managers don’t need to be menopause experts.
They do need to feel confident having supportive conversations and knowing what practical steps they can take when someone is struggling.
My manager workshops provide practical tools, knowledge and confidence to help managers support their people effectively.
Menopause Champion Training
Create a network of knowledgeable, confident menopause champions within your organisation.
Champions can help raise awareness, signpost colleagues towards appropriate support and help make menopause part of your wider workplace wellbeing and inclusion agenda.
Policy & Culture Support
A good menopause policy is important — but policy alone isn’t enough.
I can help you review and develop your approach to menopause support, identifying practical adjustments and opportunities to build a culture where people feel supported rather than embarrassed or afraid to speak up.
