Supporting Staff Through the Menopause
Strategy With Compassion and Empathy
This course is available for teams and organisations.
We’ll tailor it to your goals and deliver it online, at your offices, or wherever works best.
Overview
Supporting women through menopause has never been more important. With the introduction of the Employment Rights Act 2025, organisations employing more than 250 people are required to develop and publish Menopause Action Plans, reinforcing the need for employers to create supportive, inclusive workplaces.
Our Supporting Staff Through the Menopause course is designed to help those in HR and management positions raise greater awareness and embed a culture of support to help staff feel more motivated and confident as they navigate through this time.
You don’t need to be experts on the menopause. However, it is essential to have a good understanding on how you can assist and create a safe space to talk, learn how to develop support networks and apply best practice from relevant public sector examples.
Gain a stronger understanding of the symptoms, engage better with menopausal staff and aid them with their motivation.
Leave the day with an action plan to improve your organisation’s assistance for menopausal staff.
