Menopause Support in the Workplace
I create tailored menopause plans for your organisation
The impact of menopause in the workplace
Around one in four women consider leaving work due to menopausal symptoms and one in ten go on to permanently leave.
Women of menopausal age are the fastest growing UK working demographic.
The cost of replacing a skilled woman who leaves her role due to menopause is estimated at over £30,000.Despite increased awareness, only about 24% of UK organisations have a formal menopause policy in place.
Under the Employment Rights Act 2025, UK organisations with 250 or more employees will be required to publish a formal Menopause Action Plan by Spring 2027.
Are your line managers looking for the confidence to have supportive, open conversations with their teams?
Do you want to move beyond a ‘tick-box’ plan and create a culture where every employee can thrive?
Every woman deserves to feel supported, heard and empowered at every stage of her career.
Yet, many organisations are still finding their way when it comes to managing menopause in the workplace.

Menopause in the Workplace FAQs
-
Under the Employment Rights Act 2025, businesses with 250 or more employees will be legally required to publish a plan by 2027. Forward-thinking organisations are adopting these standards to distinguish themselves as employers of choice. Early implementation helps protect your most experienced talent today and ensures your business is leading with excellence rather than just meeting a statutory requirement.
-
Absolutely not. A menopause-friendly culture requires the engagement of the entire workforce. I offer specialised sessions such as Allyship in Action, which is specifically designed for men to understand the transition and learn how to support their colleagues and partners.
-
Yes. Professionalism and trust are at the heart of the Menopause Equilibrium Programme. I provide a bespoke, private and confidential space for employees. While I partner with organisations to build supportive cultures, the specific details shared within one-to-one coaching sessions remain strictly between the individual and me.
