Face-to-Face Workshop

Menopause Policy Workshop

A clear menopause approach at work needs more than awareness. Many organisations understand the conversation matters, but still lack the policy structure, procedural clarity, and internal consistency needed to support staff properly and reduce risk.

This workshop helps employers turn good intentions into practical action. It gives HR and leadership teams the guidance they need to strengthen policies, review gaps, improve decision-making, and build a menopause support framework that is fair, credible, and workable in everyday practice.

Designed for the people shaping workplace policy and practice

This session is designed for organisations and decision-makers responsible for people strategy, compliance, and the day-to-day frameworks that guide employee support. It is particularly relevant for teams reviewing existing policies, managing legal risk, or looking to build a more consistent menopause response across the business.

It is most valuable for those who need to move beyond general awareness and create practical systems that managers, HR teams, and employees can rely on. Where menopause support is unclear, inconsistent, or handled informally, this workshop brings structure and direction.

  • Senior leadership teams setting culture, standards, and organisational priorities

What's Included

Practical guidance for turning policy into action

This workshop covers the key areas organisations need to review when building a menopause-informed workplace approach. It connects awareness with practical decision-making, helping teams understand where policy, procedure, and manager guidance need to be stronger.

The content is designed to be directly useful, not theoretical. Participants leave with a clearer understanding of what good practice looks like, where common gaps appear, and how to create a framework that works in the real context of their organisation.

01

Why menopause belongs in people strategy

Understand why menopause should be treated as a workplace issue, not just a wellbeing topic, and how it links to retention, inclusion, and performance.

02

Reviewing current policies and gaps

Assess existing policies, identify where menopause is missing or unclear, and spot areas that may create inconsistency or risk.

03

Flexible working processes

Explore how flexibility can support employees effectively, and how to approach requests fairly and practically.

04

Absence and wellbeing procedures

Review how menopause may affect attendance, wellbeing conversations, and support pathways, with clearer internal handling.

05

Equality and fair treatment considerations

Strengthen understanding of fairness, consistency, and the legal context surrounding workplace decisions linked to menopause.

06

Building a menopause action plan

Bring the learning together into a clear plan for policy development, communication, implementation, and review.

What You Get From It

Clearer systems, stronger decisions, and more confident support

Learners come away with a more practical understanding of how to support menopause in the workplace through policy, process, and day-to-day decision-making. The session gives structure to an area that is often handled inconsistently, helping teams feel more confident in what to do next.

For the organisation, the value is wider and longer term. Stronger menopause support can improve trust, reduce avoidable risk, support retention, and help create a workplace culture where employees feel understood rather than overlooked.

Stronger internal policies

Build a more robust framework that gives menopause support a clear place within existing people policies.

Reduced legal and reputational risk

Lower the chances of inconsistent handling, poor decisions, or avoidable complaints by improving internal clarity.

Clearer HR procedures

Create better processes around conversations, adjustments, absence, and support, so teams know how to respond.

Better consistency across managers

Help managers apply policy more fairly and confidently, rather than relying on personal judgement alone.

Improved employee confidence in support systems

Strengthen trust by making support more visible, credible, and easier to access.

Practical roadmap for next steps

Leave with a clearer sense of priorities, actions, and implementation steps for your organisation.
