Menopause Champion Programme
Creating informed, confident workplace champions who help women thrive throughout menopause
As awareness of menopause in the workplace continues to grow, organisations are recognising that policy alone is not enough. Employees need accessible, knowledgeable people within their organisation who understand the impact menopause can have and who can provide practical support, guidance, and signposting when it is needed.
The Menopause Champion Programme has been developed to equip nominated individuals with the knowledge, confidence, and practical skills to become trusted menopause champions within their workplace.
Designed for HR professionals, wellbeing leads, managers, people teams, equality and inclusion leads, and senior staff, this comprehensive online programme provides the clinical understanding, workplace knowledge, and communication skills needed to support colleagues experiencing menopause while helping organisations meet their responsibilities as best practice and legislation continue to evolve.
Price: £395
Why menopause champions matter
Nearly one in four women consider leaving work because of menopause symptoms, while many others reduce their hours, step back from career opportunities, or continue working while struggling in silence.
Often, this is not because organisations lack compassion, but because managers and colleagues simply do not know how to respond.
A trained menopause champion provides a knowledgeable point of contact within the organisation. They understand the physical, emotional, and cognitive impact menopause can have, recognise where workplace adjustments may be appropriate, and know when someone should be encouraged to seek medical or therapeutic support.
By developing menopause champions, organisations demonstrate a genuine commitment to employee wellbeing, inclusion, and retaining experienced talent.
