Menopause Training for Leaders
Menopause can have a profound impact on employee wellbeing, confidence, and performance, yet many leaders receive little or no training on how to support staff experiencing menopausal symptoms. This specialised training equips managers, HR teams, and senior leaders with the knowledge and practical tools needed to foster a more inclusive, supportive workplace culture.
This programme goes beyond awareness. Leaders will learn how menopause can influence retention, engagement, and team dynamics, as well as how to implement meaningful support systems that make a measurable difference to employees’ day-to-day experience at work.
By addressing menopause openly and appropriately, organisations strengthen their commitment to diversity, equity, wellbeing, and psychological safety, ultimately enhancing performance, loyalty, and overall organisational resilience.
