Menopause is a very important topic for employers and employees within any organisation to be aware of. Menopause affects a significant portion of the UK workforce, with latest figures estimate that there are around 13 million people that are currently perimenopausal or menopausal in the UK, with 4.5 million women aged between 50 and 64 in employment. It is the responsibility of an employer, and an organisation more generally, to ensure that those experiencing menopausal symptoms are supported.

Our Menopause At Work training course is designed to equip organisations with information on best practice to support employees through their menopause transition. Having a firm awareness of what the menopause is, and how it can affect employees, is the first step to ensuring that employees feel seen and supported within their work environment.

• What is menopause?
• Recognising the physical and psychological symptoms of menopause
• Addressing concerns about menopause
• Tackling myths stereotypes and assumptions
