Supporting managers to respond to menopause in the workplace with confidence, clarity and credibility.
Managers are often the first point of contact when someone is struggling at work, but many have never been shown how to talk about menopause in a way that is informed, appropriate and supportive.
That gap can lead to uncertainty, inconsistent responses, and missed opportunities to support people well.
This training gives managers the knowledge, language and practical tools to respond more effectively. It helps create a workplace where employees feel understood, managers feel better equipped, and organisations can take a more consistent approach to wellbeing, retention and performance.
This course is designed for line managers, team leaders, supervisors and department heads who want to better support employees affected by menopause at work. It is especially relevant for organisations that want to improve manager capability, strengthen workplace culture and reduce uncertainty around sensitive conversations.
It is most valuable for managers who are responsible for day-to-day people support but may not feel fully confident discussing symptoms, workplace impact or reasonable adjustments. It helps turn a difficult subject into a manageable and professional one.
The training covers the key issues managers need to understand, from what menopause is and how it can affect work, to how to respond sensitively and appropriately in real workplace situations. The focus is on helping managers feel informed rather than overwhelmed.
Content is delivered in a way that is practical, relevant and easy to apply. Rather than relying on theory alone, the session helps managers understand what supportive leadership looks like in day-to-day conversations, decisions and team culture.
A clear explanation of menopause, common symptoms and the ways these can affect work, confidence and performance.
What managers should know, where their responsibilities begin and end, and how to respond appropriately.
Guidance on how to approach conversations with sensitivity, professionalism and confidence.
How symptoms may show up at work and what managers should pay attention to without making assumptions.
Examples of small, reasonable changes that may help employees work more comfortably and effectively.
How managers influence team culture and help reduce stigma through everyday behaviour and communication.
Managers leave the training with a stronger understanding of menopause and more confidence in how to respond. They are better prepared to handle conversations calmly, offer appropriate support and avoid the discomfort that often comes from not knowing what to say.
For organisations, the benefits go further than awareness alone. Better manager capability can improve employee experience, reduce avoidable pressure points and support a healthier, more inclusive working environment.
