Menopause in the Worksplace
Building Awareness, Confidence and Support
Accredited Menopause in the Workplace workshop delivered by Claire Russell, licensed menopause trainer, coach and CEO of MHIB
Menopause is a natural stage of life that many employees will experience and it is vital to understand how it can affect psychological, emotional and physical health. This empowering session workshop is designed to explain the fundamentals of menopause - what it is, why it happens and how symptoms can affect women at work.
In this session we also talk about legislative requirements, how employers can support women through peri-menopause and menopause, and suggested adjustments that can be made in the workplace.
This two-hour session should be delivered in all workplaces and made available to everyone, and it is especially important that managers attend so they understand the practical and legal aspects of supporting colleagues through this time.
As a manager, I now feel much more confident having supportive conversations with my team about menopause.

Why Menopause Awareness Matters At Work
Menopause affects a significant proportion of the workforce, yet it is still often poorly understood.
Without awareness and support, employees may experience unnecessary stress, reduced confidence or challenges in managing symptoms at work.
By improving understanding and opening up constructive conversations, organisations can:
Support employee wellbeing
Retain experienced and valuable staff
Create more inclusive workplace cultures
Help managers feel confident supporting their teams
