As an employer, you want a workplace where everyone feels supported and able to thrive. Menopause affects a significant part of the workforce, yet it is often misunderstood or overlooked. Without the right support, it can impact wellbeing, confidence, and retention.
I can provide your organization with tailored menopause awareness workshops designed for everyone, not just women. These sessions will help managers, colleagues, and leaders understand and support each other better while incorporating menopause action plans.
Your team will gain:
- A clear understanding of menopause and its impact.
- Insight into symptoms, treatments, and lifestyle support.
- Practical guidance on workplace adjustments.
- Awareness of legal responsibilities.
- The confidence to challenge stigma and misconceptions.
By taking this step towards supporting menopause in the workplace, you can improve morale, retain valuable staff, and build a more inclusive environment. Committing to this initiative also strengthens your ESG commitments, particularly around inclusion and gender equality. Together, we can create a more understanding, confident, and engaged workplace.
Menopause Action Plans
In the UK, menopause action plans are increasingly becoming a formal legal requirement for larger employers.
Under the Employment Rights Act 2025, organisations with 250 or more employees are expected to begin supporting menopause in the workplace.
They should start preparing and publishing these action plans from April 2026 during a voluntary phase, and will be legally required to publish them from 2027.
These plans must outline the practical steps the organisation is taking to support employees experiencing menopause, often in conjunction with menopause awareness workshops and gender pay gap reporting.
