Menopause Training That Makes a Difference
- 99% of women said their menopause or peri-menopause symptoms had a negative impact on their career (Newson Health).
- 1 in 10 women leave their job due to menopause symptoms, rising sharply where workplace support is lacking (Fawcett Society).
- Low oestrogen levels, common in menopause, may increase your risk of Long Covid (King’s College London).
- Perimenopause most commonly begins in the mid-to-late 40s, but for some, it can start as early as their 30s.
- Menopause can also be brought on suddenly due to cancer treatment such as chemotherapy, radiotherapy, or surgery to remove the ovaries.
Bev delivers CPD accredited menopause awareness training as an accredited training partner of Hormones on the Blink. The training is practical, inclusive, and designed to help your team build empathy, confidence, and lasting change.

Menopause Action Plans
Menopause Action Plans
From April 2026, UK employers with 250+ staff will be asked to introduce voluntary menopause workplace action plans becoming mandatory in 2027.
Forward-thinking organisations won’t wait. Creating an action plan now shows employees their wellbeing matters, embeds support early, and positions your business as an inclusive employer.
For SMEs, there’s no legal obligation, but the benefits are clear. A proactive menopause action plan strengthens recruitment and retention, builds trust, and demonstrates a commitment to supporting staff through life’s changes.
Employers who act sooner send a strong message: we care, we value our people, and we want to create a workplace where everyone can perform at their best.
