Menopause and the Workplace:
Supporting Employees to Thrive at Midlife
Practical, evidence-based menopause support for today’s workplace — improving energy, confidence, retention, and performance.
Menopause is a natural life stage — but in the workplace, it’s often unsupported.
Can be supported with the right strategies
The Business Case for Menopause Support
The numbers don’t lie — supporting menopause at work is about retention, leadership, and long-term business resilience.
When symptoms go unsupported, employees often miss work.

Creating a Menopause-Inclusive Workplace
A supportive workplace doesn’t require a massive investment — it requires intention, awareness, and practical systems that make it easier for employees to get help without stigma.
We partner with HR and People & Culture teams to build menopause-inclusive support that fits your workplace realities. Small changes can reduce absenteeism, improve retention, and help employees feel safe, supported, and able to perform at their best.
Menopause is not exclusive to women. Anyone with ovaries and a uterus — including some transgender men and non-binary people — may experience this transition. Our programs are designed to support all employees with respect, dignity, and evidence-based care.
Awareness Sessions
Practical, dietitian-led education that normalizes menopause at work and gives employees evidence-based strategies they can use immediately.
Manager & HR Training
Supportive scripts, best practices, and guidance so leaders respond with empathy and confidence — without needing to be clinical experts.
Benefits Audits & Recommendations
A review of your current coverage with suggestions to better support menopause (dietitian services, mental health, HRT coverage direction, referrals, etc.).
Policy & Flexibility Guidance
Simple, inclusive adjustments such as flexible scheduling, temperature considerations, private space options, and confidentiality-safe pathways.
Supporting employees through menopause is not about fixing something that’s broken. It’s about honoring a powerful stage of life.
