Managing Menopause in the Workplace

In this 2-hour interactive course you’ll build understanding, confidence, and practical skills to support colleagues experiencing menopause at work.
Menopause is a natural stage of life, yet its impact in the workplace is often misunderstood or overlooked. This practical and engaging two-hour course is designed for both employees and managers, giving participants the knowledge, language, and confidence to create a more supportive, inclusive working environment.

Through a mix of expert insight, real-life examples, and open discussion, you will explore the different stages of menopause, from perimenopause through to menopause, and understand how symptoms can affect individuals at work. For managers, the course goes further, equipping them with clear, practical approaches to supporting their teams, handling sensitive conversations, and ensuring compliance with UK legal requirements.

A live Q&A session is included, giving you the opportunity to ask questions in a safe, supportive space.
