Workplace Menopause Support

Creating supportive, informed and menopause-confident workplaces

Menopause is a natural stage of life yet it remains one of the most misunderstood and under-supported wellbeing issues in the workplace. Millions of employees are navigating symptoms that affect their health, confidence, and performance, often without the support or understanding they need.

With new UK employment law changes on the horizon, and growing awareness around menopause at work, this is the ideal time to introduce structured, compassionate support into your organisation.

As a certified Menopause Coach, I work with organisations of all sizes to help create environments where employees feel supported, valued, and able to thrive.


Why Menopause Support Matters

1 in 10 women leave their jobs due to the impact of menopause.

The UK workplace loses an estimated £10 billion each year through menopause-related staff turnover.

Only 4% of women report that their workplace has a menopause policy in place.

Line managers and colleagues have a major influence on whether employees feel safe to seek support.

Legislative changes will soon require larger organisations to develop a menopause plan.

Supporting menopause at work goes beyond wellbeing, it improves retention, productivity, morale, and workplace culture.

How I Support Organisations

My Workplace Menopause Support services are based on three core pillars:

1. Awareness & Education

Normalising conversation and building empathy across your organisation.

2. Strategy, Policy & Culture Development

Helping organisations embed supportive, sustainable menopause practices.

3. Ongoing Employee & Employer Support

Meaningful change happens over time and I can support your organisation every step of the way.

Awareness & Education

Creating understanding and reducing stigma at every level of your organisation.

I offer engaging, interactive sessions designed for all employees, regardless of gender or role. These sessions help teams understand what menopause is, how it affects individuals and the workplace, and what supportive, empathetic environments look like.

Through these engaging workshops and awareness sessions, I help employees and teams to:

  • Understand the physical, mental and emotional symptoms of menopause

  • How symptoms can impact work and daily life

  • How colleagues, managers and teams can develop compassionate communication skills & offer support

  • Create a culture where menopause can be spoken about confidently

These workshops are ideal as a first step, awareness campaign launch, or organisation-wide training initiative.


Strategy, Policy & Culture Development

Building a workplace that is equipped for upcoming legislation and long-term support.

I work with HR teams, managers, and senior leaders to help shape an informed, inclusive framework that works for your organisation. This includes:

  • Guidance on developing or improving menopause policies

  • Reviewing existing wellbeing policies and practices

  • Advice on flexible working, adjustments, and workplace environment

  • Helping leaders communicate changes with clarity, confidence and sensitivity

  • Creating internal support networks or champions

  • Developing awareness campaigns that shift culture, not just tick boxes

This ensures your organisation is both prepared for future legislation and equipped to support employees for the long term.


Ongoing Employee & Employer Support

Meaningful change happens over time and I can support your organisation every step of the way.

Ongoing support can include:

  • Monthly onsite visits

  • Rolling workshop themes or topic-based sessions

  • Group coaching sessions

  • Menopause Plan sessions delivered to employee groups

  • Regular check-ins with HR or leadership teams

  • One-to-one coaching for employees who need individual support

  • Annual reviews and recommendations to help measure impact

This approach helps embed a supportive culture, normalise conversations, and ensure employees feel valued, respected, and empowered.
