Menopause in the Workplace – Champion Training                                                 

Why train in menopause support in the workplace?

Supporting menopause at work is the right thing to do, both for organisations and colleagues. It helps to retain talent within an organisation and create an inclusive, supportive work environment. Colleagues’ wellbeing is placed centre stage, showing that an organisation is a great place to work, and in turn changing lives for the better today and for generations to come.

Menopause can affect people differently and for those who experience symptoms, it can be a huge relief to know their employer will support them.

Although things are improving, stigma still exists around menopause.

What employers can do is what you’d expect of any employer who wants to attract and retain a diverse and inclusive workforce. This starts with creating the environment to talk about menopause openly and without embarrassment.
