Menopause transition in the workplace awareness

This training module is designed specifically for line managers to navigate menopause in the workplace effectively. Every woman* – except for those who've had their ovaries removed before puberty – will transition through menopause. Despite affecting 50% of the population and significantly impacting women's careers and organisational diversity, it is often overlooked in professional settings. This silence is rooted in gender and age biases, creating stigma around discussing menopause at work. Our menopause transition in the workplace awareness training will teach you how proper support can retain talent and promote gender diversity in leadership roles.

Why Address Menopause in the Workplace?

Menopause intersects with gender and age biases, leading to workplace stigma. Poor management of menopause transitions results in significant talent loss. Research estimates that 1 million UK women could leave their jobs due to inadequate menopause support, (source; Kora kids) costing £10 billion annually (source: Balance by Newsom Health).

This is a huge waste of talent. These women are often at the peak of their professional life.  In addition it has implications for gender diversity at the C-suite level.

The Critical Role of Line Managers:

Only 24% of organisations currently have a menopause policy or supportive measures in place. Research shows the line manager can have the biggest impact on both job satisfaction and employee retention. Insights from CIPD research highlight the crucial role of supportive line managers in lessening the impact of menopausal symptoms in the workplace.
