✔️ Flexible Learning Formats: Whether in-person, online, or via eLearning modules (off‑the‑shelf or tailored to your organisation), we make it easy to reach everyone, including those working remotely, across sites, or on shift patterns.

✔️ Practical Tools & Toolkit Resources: Videos, campaign roadmaps, “Menopause in Minutes” content, all designed to make awareness, communication and policy implementation clear and doable.

49% of women have considered leaving their jobs due to menopause symptoms...

That is not a wellbeing statistic, it is a workplace retention, inclusion and leadership issue.

Behind this figure are experienced employees questioning whether they can continue in roles they value, often while trying to manage symptoms quietly and without support. For organisations, this represents a loss of talent, knowledge and confidence that could be avoided with the right awareness, conversations and practical adjustments. 💡

Creating menopause aware workplaces is not complicated, but it does require intention. Education, supportive policies and confident line managers make a meaningful difference to whether people feel able to stay, contribute and thrive.

Menopause is not an individual problem to solve alone. It is a workplace reality that organisations can choose to respond to proactively. 🤝

If your organisation has not yet explored menopause training, policies, or wider support, now is the time to start the conversation. Find out more about how we support employers at www.menopauseintheworkplace.co.uk

Menopause isn’t a marginal issue. It’s a workplace reality affecting performance, confidence, attendance and career progression across organisations of every size and sector. 💡

Menopausal women are the fastest-growing workplace demographic. If nearly seven in ten are struggling at work because of symptoms, the question isn’t whether this matters to your organisation. It’s what you are doing about it.

Awareness alone is not enough. Managers need confidence. Colleagues need understanding. Employees need to know they can speak openly and access meaningful support. 🤝

That’s where structured, evidence-based menopause training makes the difference. It creates informed leaders, supportive cultures and practical frameworks that move organisations from good intentions to real impact.

Please get in touch to discuss menopause training for your organisation and take the next step towards becoming truly menopause friendly. 💬

We've been delving through our photo albums for some 2016 photos (did you know we've been leading the way with menopause support for 10 years now?). Here's Deborah at a Hens event; talking about menopause at the Institute of Directors in October 2016 at their Women in Leadership conference; and then with Nottingham Police - the then Police Chief Constable Sue Fish is now an Independent Panel member for the Menopause Friendly Accreditation! 🤩

Menopause Action Plans are no longer a future consideration or a nice-to-have. They are now written into UK employment law and represent one of the most significant advances in workplace inclusion in decades.

For too long, menopause at work was misunderstood, minimised or ignored altogether. Today, that has changed.

Menopause support is moving from informal good practice to a clear legal and strategic requirement for employers.

But a Menopause Action Plan that genuinely works is about far more than compliance. It is about culture, leadership and long-term impact. Find out more in our latest article on our website now.

What we know about Menopause Action Plans, and what is still to come...

👉 We know that Menopause Action Plans will be required for employers with over 250 employees.

👉 We know there will be a phased approach, with voluntary submission from Spring 2026 and mandatory reporting from Spring 2027.

👉 We know the intention is to drive meaningful, measurable change rather than superficial compliance.

👉 What we do not yet know are the exact reporting requirements, metrics or enforcement mechanisms. Further guidance is expected.

👉 What we do know is this: waiting is a risk.

Employers who start now by listening to employees, reviewing what is already in place, building internal capability and embedding menopause into wider health, wellbeing and inclusion strategies will be ready and their people will already be benefiting.

With 10 years experience in menopause in the workplace, we're here to help, so please get in touch if you have questions.
