We’re in the middle of a menopause revolution.
Affecting an estimated 13 million people in the UK, the menopause was for too long a taboo subject but in recent years it has been recognised as a key wellbeing issue. Now the topic of many high profile and national conversations, it is increasingly being seen as a workplace wellbeing priority, with many employers introducing support measures for affected employees.
Despite this progress, however, there remains a general lack of knowledge about the day-to-day impact of the menopause at work. All too often, line managers feel unequipped to support employees or feel uncomfortable engaging in conversations around the issue.
This webinar looks at how people are affected by the menopause at work, the different approaches to offering support and how to create a menopause-friendly environment within the team.
This session includes a live Q&A.

We've teamed up with the Bank Workers Charity explore how menstrual health impacts physical, mental, and financial wellbeing and highlights why it’s a critical workplace issue. We’ll discuss ‘menstrual concealment’ – a term coined by Professor Kate Seear – which highlights a troubling paradox: women are often seen as lying about menstrual health issues to avoid work, yet in reality, they’re hiding their challenges or struggling just to remain there.
We’ll also look at practical steps workplaces can take to foster a culture of openness, support, and inclusion – improving wellbeing for everyone.
