Face-to-Face Workshop

Menopause Training for Male Colleagues

A practical awareness course designed to help male colleagues understand menopause more clearly and support co-workers, partners and teams with greater confidence and respect.

Many organisations are working hard to improve menopause support, but too often the conversation is aimed only at those experiencing it directly. That can leave male colleagues unsure what to say, how to respond, or how to be helpful without getting it wrong.

This course closes that gap. It gives men a clear, straightforward understanding of menopause, explains why it matters in the workplace, and shows what supportive allyship looks like in real situations. The result is a more informed, considerate culture where responsibility for support does not fall on a few individuals alone.

Designed for workplaces that want everyone involved

This course is ideal for organisations that want menopause awareness to be part of a wider culture of respect, inclusion and shared responsibility. It works particularly well for male employees, mixed teams, managers, senior leaders, HR teams and anyone expected to support colleagues well.

It is especially valuable for businesses that want to move beyond policy and create more confident day-to-day behaviour. When male colleagues understand the topic better, conversations become easier, team dynamics improve, and support becomes more consistent across the organisation.

  • Male employees who want to better understand menopause and respond appropriately
  • Mixed teams that benefit from shared awareness and respectful communication
  • Managers who need to lead sensitively and confidently
  • Leadership teams shaping inclusive workplace culture
  • HR departments strengthening menopause support across the business
  • Workplace allies who want practical guidance, not awkward theory

Women experiencing menopause have left work due to symptoms. A more informed workplace can help reduce misunderstanding, improve support and retain valuable people.
Half the workforce conversation is missing
Many menopause initiatives focus only on those directly affected, leaving colleagues and managers unsure how to support well. Bringing male colleagues into the conversation helps create a more consistent and inclusive culture.

What's Included

Clear, practical content that makes the topic easier to understand

This course covers the essential facts about menopause in a way that feels accessible, respectful and relevant to working life. It explains what menopause is, how symptoms can show up, and why awareness matters across the wider workforce, not only for those experiencing it directly.

Content is delivered in a practical, grounded way that avoids jargon, embarrassment and overcomplication. Participants leave with a stronger understanding of how to communicate well, how to behave supportively, and how to contribute positively both at work and at home.

What You Get From It

Better understanding, more confidence, stronger workplace culture

Participants come away with a clearer understanding of menopause and a better sense of how to respond appropriately. That means fewer awkward moments, more confident conversations and a stronger ability to support colleagues with respect.

For organisations, the wider value is cultural as well as practical. When male colleagues are included in menopause education, support becomes more visible, more consistent and more embedded across teams. It helps create a workplace where inclusion is lived, not just stated.

Better male engagement

Male colleagues feel more informed, involved and able to contribute positively.

Stronger workplace empathy

Teams develop greater understanding of how menopause can affect everyday work and wellbeing.

Reduced insensitive behaviour

Participants learn what to avoid, helping reduce dismissive comments, awkward reactions and unintended harm.

Improved team culture

Shared awareness supports a more respectful, inclusive and psychologically safe environment.

More confident conversations

Managers and colleagues feel better equipped to talk appropriately and respond supportively.

Inclusive menopause support strategy

The course helps organisations involve the whole workforce in menopause awareness, not just those directly affected.
