Menopause Workplace Training

Menopause Workplace Courses

Why should your organisation provide menopause workplace training?

Data estimates that around 4 million women aged between 45-55 years are part of the working population in the UK.

This statistic alone should encourage employers to consider Menopause Workplace Training!

Symptoms such as anxiety, sleep disturbance, low mood, low confidence and brain fog can all have an impact on women’s performance, absenteeism and ultimately whether they feel they can continue to do their job.

Menopause is not just a wellbeing issue, it can be a business continuity issue.

Menopause Workplace Training

Being a menopause friendly organisation who offers support can:

  • Improve the wellbeing and morale of employees
  • Reduce absenteeism
  • Improve productivity
  • Greater retention of experienced staff
  • Fosters a culture of inclusion
  • Protects your organisation legally and ethically

Menopause Workplace Training is highly specialised and sensitive topic. We tailor it all to the individual needs of your organisation and can include:

  • Awareness and educational training for employees and managers
  • Menopause Champion training
  • Practical toolkits and action plans
  • Leadership briefings
  • HR policy guidance
  • Q&A sessions to open up conversations, reduce stigma and normalise the menopause.

Absolutely! Menopause will affect every single woman to varying degrees, some will sail few and some will have a dreadful time.

 

There are many symptoms associated with the menopause, concentration, confidence, anxiety, brain fog and energy levels having a particular impact on women in the workplace.

 

When managers understand the impact of menopause and how to respond appropriately, they can make small and simple adjustments which can potentially have a big impact.

Employers have a duty of care to protect employee wellbeing, in some cases symptoms can be covered under equality and discrimination law.

 

Providing awareness training, supportive policies and making reasonable adjustments help to demonstrate that you are an inclusive, caring organisation.

 

Labour’s Menopause Action Plan which is incorporated into the Employment Rights Bill mandates that organisations with over 250 staff must implement, publish and action tailored support strategies by Spring 2027 which will follow the voluntary phase beginning April 2026.

 

Key requirements include training, adjustments to workplace temperature and uniforms and flexible work arrangements for employees in the menopause.

If dealt with in an open and informative way it will actually have the opposite effect.

 

Creating awareness and educating employees about the menopause helps to reduce the stigma and make individuals feel more at ease starting and having open conversations.

 

Most employees feel relieved that the subject is being acknowledged.

It all starts with conversations around:

 

  • Current challenges in the organisation
  • The demographics of the workforce
  • Wellbeing offerings which are already in place
  • The outcomes you want to achieve with menopause support in the workplace

 

Once your organisation has worked through the above, you can start developing your menopause support plan, whether it is a single menopause awareness session, training up Menopause

 

Champions for your organisation, drawing up a Menopause Policy or putting together a bespoke offering.

Menopause Support for Individuals

Helping you to navigate the chaos that menopause can bring and start to feel yourself again.

My Joyful Menopause Plan is an individual mentoring service which looks at all aspects of your wellbeing and together we identify areas for change to help you have a more joyful menopause.

Menopause Workplace Training

Before you decide if one to one menopause support is right for you, it helps to know exactly what’s involved.

I’ve answered the most common questions about the Joyful Menopause Plan below.

Menopause is a point in time – a year and a day after your last period.

 

The perimenopause is the period leading up to the menopause where a woman’s hormones start to change and symptoms experienced are usually at their peak in this phase.

 

The perimenopause can start in the mid 30s but for most women it starts mid 40s and can last from anything between two and 10 years.

It can be tricky to know if you are in perimenopause especially as it usually coincides with a very busy time in a woman’s life.

 

Often women will still be having regular periods but will not feel like themselves.

 

We have hormone receptors all over our body which is why there are now estimated to be over 60 symptoms associated with perimenopause and menopause. Some of the common symptoms include:

  • Anxiety and low mood
  • Brain fog
  • Tiredness
  • Sleep disturbance
  • Muscle weakness
  • Weight gain
  • Irregular periods
  • Hot flushes and poor temperature control
  • Low energy
  • Apathy
  • Loss of confidence

There is such a huge range of menopausal symptoms and women can be affected to varying degrees by different symptoms. Some women have a dreadful time whilst some may seemingly sail through, although it is unusual to have no symptoms at all.

 

Some women are affected so severely emotionally and cognitively they don’t recognise themselves.

 

It can feel like a very frightening transition.

 

Educating yourself and having a deeper understanding of what is happening in your body and how you can help yourself brings about a sense of empowerment.

Yes you can!

 

However, it is often a point where women have to evaluate how they are living their lives. Some key areas to look at:

 

  • Am I moving regularly and building in strength exercise?
  • How am I eating? Am I nourishing myself and giving my body the nutrients I need to feel at my best?
  • Am I taking short rest breaks EVERY day rather than running on adrenaline all day long?
  • Am I leaving myself a long enough sleep window every evening?
  • Am I still making time to see friends who lift me regularly?
  • Do I still know what brings me joy and am I making time for these things on a regular basis?

 

Many women find the menopause transition empowering and come out the other side with a greater sense of who they are and how they want to spend their time.

 

We have to consider making lifestyle changes and finding tools which support us to help ourselves flourish.

My Joyful Menopause Plan is a personalised mentoring service designed to support individuals needs as they transition through the menopause.

 

We will look at your personal situation and help pin point small or significant adjustments which can have a big impact on your physical and mental wellbeing. We cover the following areas:

 

  • Your health history
  • Physical activity
  • Nutrition
  • Work life balance
  • Mental health and how to support it

 

At the end of the consultation I will provide a detailed plan summarising our discussions and include practical steps for you to improve your physical and mental wellbeing.
