Menopause Partner Programme

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:

Testimonial

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.
