Menopause Training

Menopausal women are the fastest growing demographic in the workplace, and yet, we know that almost half of them experience symptoms so debilitating that they are struggling to function at work. But with the right support, both employees and businesses can thrive.

At Brook, we offer in-person or online training to help you build a menopause-friendly environment.

Why invest in menopause training?

• Improve employee wellbeing: By understanding the challenges of menopause, you can create a healthier, more supportive environment for your staff.
• Create a culture of empathy and inclusion: Less than 1/3 of people experiencing perimenopause symptoms told someone at work about their symptoms. Training can help create a culture where staff feel empowered to ask for the support they need.
• Increase productivity: 2/3 of those experiencing menopause report that their symptoms negatively affect their work. By building a workplace that understands and offers support, you can reduce these impacts.
• Improve employee retention: 17% of those experiencing menopause have considered leaving work due to a lack of support, and a further 6% have left work. Building a menopause-friendly workplace can help retain staff.

The Brook menopause training session for our managers and staff was truly educative and empowering. The sessions not only provided valuable insights into the physical and emotional challenges associated with menopause but also equipped us with practical strategies to support our colleagues going through the menopause. The training created an environment of understanding and empathy, breaking down stigmas and encouraging conversations about a topic that is often overlooked. As a result, we’ve seen a positive shift in our workplace culture, where the managers and staff feel more informed and supported. I highly recommend this training to any organisation committed to the wellbeing of its employees.
