About the Menopause Awareness course
Menopause affects the majority of women and some trans and non-binary colleagues, typically in their 40s and 50s, right in the middle of their working lives. CIPD research has found that one in six women have considered leaving their job due to a lack of menopause support and over a quarter say their symptoms have had a negative impact on their career progression, often because managers didn’t know how to respond.
That’s why this is run as two connected 90-minute sessions: one built for all staff and one built for line managers and team leaders. Book one, or both back-to-back for a complete, organisation-wide approach.
Jump straight to the Staff session outline or the Managers session outline below, or run either as a live remote class via Microsoft Teams.

Who the course is for

The Managers session is for line managers, team leaders, supervisors and HR professionals with people-management responsibility.

Frequently asked questions
What’s the difference between the Staff and Managers sessions?
The Staff session builds general awareness for everyone in the business; the Managers session adds legal responsibilities and confident-conversation skills for anyone with line-management responsibility. Both run for 90 minutes and they’re designed to work well back-to-back, but can also be booked separately.
Is this session only for women?
No. Menopause affects people at every level of an organisation, directly or through a colleague, partner or family member. We’d always encourage mixed audiences for the Staff session.
What’s the legal risk if we don’t train managers?
Menopause-related claims can fall under the Equality Act 2010 (sex, age or disability discrimination) and general health and safety duties. This session isn’t legal advice, but it gives managers the awareness to avoid the most common pitfalls. We’d always recommend checking specific cases with your HR or legal advisor.
Can this be delivered in-house or online?
Yes, closed tailored sessions run on your site or live online via Microsoft Teams, for a group of your choosing.
How is the session priced?
The Virtual Session and In-House Single Session both start from £295.00 + VAT for up to 15 people. Pricing for the Complete Bundle and bespoke options depends on delegate numbers and delivery format. Get in touch and we’ll put together a quote.
Is this medical or legal advice?
No, these are workplace awareness sessions, not medical or legal advice. For personal symptoms we’d recommend speaking to a GP or specialist; for specific employment situations, check with your HR team or a qualified legal advisor.
Training a larger group?
Our in-house price is based on groups of up to 15 people per session. If you have a bigger team, multiple departments, or want to run the Staff and Managers sessions back-to-back, speak with one of our team. We’ll help you work out the best way to run it and put together a tailored quote.
