Menopause Partner Programme

Menopause Is Not a Personal Problem. It’s a Leadership Opportunity.

The Menopause Partner Programme helps you respond with clarity, confidence and lasting impact.

Why this matters:

One in ten women leave the workforce due to unmanaged menopause symptoms. Millions of working days are lost each year.

Unmanaged menopause costs organisations talent, productivity and experience. It impacts confidence, performance and progression – often at the peak of a woman’s career.

The Employment Rights Act 2025 will require organisations with 250+ employees to introduce menopause action plans from 2027. What was once voluntary is quickly becoming essential.

But this isn’t just about compliance.

It’s about leadership.

Forward-thinking organisations recognise that supporting employees through menopause protects talent, strengthens retention and builds a culture where people can perform at their best.

The Menopause Partner Programme provides a clear, structured way to move from awareness to action – sustainably, strategically and with integrity.

If you’re ready to lead well in this space, let’s start the conversation.

Menopause Partner Programme

6 Months of Practical Support, Sustainable Change and Confident Leadership

The Menopause Partner Programme is a structured 6-month partnership designed to embed practical, sustainable menopause support into your organisation. It is preventative, cost-effective and focused on what truly matters: staff wellbeing, retention, compliance, inclusive cultures and strong leadership.

By the end of the programme, your organisation will be menopause compliant and will have:

  • Increased knowledge and confidence across all staff
  • Clear, informed managers who know how to respond appropriately
  • Reduced risk around absence, grievance and performance issues
  • Trained internal menopause advocates
  • A simple, workable menopause action plan embedded into practice 
  • A reputation as a responsible, menopause-aware employer

This isn’t a one-off awareness talk. It’s a long-term cultural shift – implemented calmly, professionally and sustainably.

What the Programme Includes:

1. Practical Menopause Education for All Staff

Engaging, evidence-based training for everyone in the organisation, designed to increase understanding, reduce stigma and open up healthy conversation.

Staff will learn:

  • We will demystify menopause, why it happens and what it is and what it isn’t 
  • Common symptoms and how they impact work
  • Practical lifestyle and support strategies
  • How to talk about menopause respectfully and confidently
  • What workplaces can and should be thinking about to support

This session opens up the conversation, builds shared language, breaks taboos and reduces misinformation.

2. Targeted Training for Leaders and Managers

Menopause is a complex and sensitive issue within the workplace. Leaders and managers need appropriate training to ensure they are creating safe, compassionate spaces for conversation to take place. 

The training equips them with:

  • A greater knowledge and understanding of menopause and its potential impact
  • Legal awareness and duty of care responsibilities
  • Tools to have sensitive, supportive conversations
  • Confidence in support available within the organisation 
  • Time to consider what practical workplace adjustments might be appropriate
  • Clarity around performance, absence and menopause

 

Group or one-to-one executive coaching is available post-training to build skills and confidence in having sensitive conversations. 

Leaders and managers will feel more confident and better equipped to support colleagues navigating menopause.

3. Dedicated Workshops & 1:1 Coaching for Women

A safe, supportive space for women to increase knowledge, feel heard and explore practical management strategies.

Includes:

  • In-depth menopause education workshop
  • Myth-busting HRT and support with talking to the GP
  • Symptom management and lifestyle guidance 
  • Guidance on how to have conversations at work 
  • Confidence and well-being support
  • Optional 1:1 coaching sessions where individualised support is required.

Women feel informed, validated and empowered – not dismissed or overwhelmed.  Women are able to advocate for themselves at work and with the GP to get the support they need. This contributes to decreased absenteeism, increased wellbeing and productivity at work.

4. Training Internal Menopause Advocates

The Menopause Advocate Programme builds internal capacity.  The Programme does a deeper dive into menopause in the workplace and covers:

  • Perimenopause & Menopause: What you need to know
  • The Workplace Impact: Why it matters
  • How Employers Can Help: Practical steps that make a difference
  • Solutions, Resources & Signposting
  • Action Planning: Turning awareness into meaningful, contextualised change
  • Networking: Share best practices, stay updated and access ongoing support

The aim is not complexity – it is clarity and consistency.

Testimonials

Jo recently delivered line manager training sessions for us, and I would definitely recommend her. She is knowledgeable and engaging as a trainer, and very easy to work with from the client side. The content is thought-provoking, but delivered in a supportive way. She has helped us to open a conversation about this important topic, and she also provides a range of useful resources to support staff.

I attended the Menopause Advocate Programme with the goal of understanding how an employer can set up practical support mechanisms to help with the challenges faced by women experiencing menopause in the workplace. Through the programme I gained a deeper understanding of the physiological and psychological impacts of menopause; we drew from key pieces of research to identify the impact these can have on women and workplaces, discussed the findings and spent time identifying practical strategies for addressing common workplace challenges. As a result of the programme, I am confident that we can create a more empathetic and understanding workplace where women experiencing menopause feel supported and empowered to thrive. I am excited to implement the knowledge and resources gained to create a positive and lasting impact on the wellbeing of our staff. I recommend the programme.
