Menopause Awareness           

I’m an active campaigner for highlighting the importance of raising awareness and understanding of menopause within workplaces, and I provide advice and support on this topic to multiple organisations of differing sizes.

We often hear that menopause affects 50% of the population, but the reality is that it affects pretty much everyone directly or indirectly at some stage in their lives.

Whether we look at this topic through the employee wellbeing, or the ED&I lens, we can recognise its importance, especially as menopausal women are the fastest growing demographic in the workplace today. In the current war for attracting and retaining top talent, the importance of creating supportive and inclusive cultures has never been clearer.

One of the most popular and impactful initiatives I provide is awareness training for managers and employees to aid their understanding of how they can navigate this period of transition personally, support their colleagues or team members, and their friends and family members.

I also provide 1:1 menopause mentoring support to employees who are specifically affected by their menopause and would benefit from some individual support, coaching & mentoring.

The British Standards Institute have recently produced a guide and framework of good practice on menstruation, menstrual health & menopause in the workplace (BSI 30416), therefore drawing together some key themes regarding women’s health issues at work. As a result of this new framework, I also provide support, training and coaching in this broader area.

Please let me know how I can best support.
