Menopause Awareness: Understand, Support, Empower

Menopause is a Natural Transition, Not a Limitation

At Foster Diversity, we recognise menopause as a critical workplace and life transition that affects millions of individuals yet remains a largely unaddressed workplace challenge.

Our comprehensive Menopause Awareness Training provides organisations with the essential knowledge, strategies, and tools to create a supportive, inclusive environment that empowers employees experiencing menopausal symptoms.

According to the NHS,  it is estimated In the UK, approximately 13 million women are currently perimenopausal or menopausal, representing a substantial portion of the workforce and the equivalent of a third of the entire UK population.

 These individuals often face complex physical and emotional challenges that significantly impact their professional performance, confidence, work, and experience. Without proper understanding and support, organisations risk losing talented, experienced professionals and potentially facing increased workplace discrimination.

Our training programme offers a holistic approach to menopause awareness, designed to:

• Educate managers and colleagues about menopausal experiences

• Develop compassionate, practical workplace support strategies

• Reduce stigma and create an open, understanding workplace culture

• Provide practical adjustments and reasonable workplace accommodations

• Enhance employee retention and organisational inclusivity

By investing in menopause awareness, organisations demonstrate commitment to employee wellbeing, gender equality, and progressive workplace practices.
