Menopause in the Workplace

The Impact of Menopause at Work

900,000 women in the UK leave their jobs because of menopausal symptoms.

Employers need to take steps to reduce absenteeism due to poor symptom management.

Why Become Menopause in the Workplace Approved?

Achieving menopause-approved status demonstrates your commitment to supporting employees through a critical stage of life, fostering a culture of inclusivity, well-being, and productivity. Here’s why it matters: 

Attract and Retain Talent: Helps prevent the loss of valuable top tier talent & leadership

Employee Morale: Create a supportive environment that empowers employees to thrive professionally and personally.

Improve Productivity: Addressing menopause-related challenges can reduce absenteeism and enhance overall performance

Enhance Workplace Culture: Promote open communication, understanding, and inclusivity for all employees.

Set an Example: Position your organisation as a leader in employee care and well-being, inspiring others to follow suit.

Legal Compliance: Proactively address potential claims related to discrimination or lack of reasonable adjustments, ensuring alignment with workplace equality and health laws.

Support Gender Equality: By addressing menopause openly, you create a workplace that values women’s contributions at all career stages, closing the gender gap in leadership and retention.

Reduce Costs: Significantly reduce recruitment costs and the time lost to training new hires, sick pay

Becoming menopause-approved is more than a badge—it's a meaningful step toward building a workplace where everyone feels supported and valued.

Zoe J Phoenix

As a menopause therapist & coach, I can provide tailored support to your team to not only address debilitating menopause symptom. But mental health or life related challenges. Whether menopause or life related issues , they can significantly impact self-esteem, confidence, and performance at work.

The traditional boundaries between work life and home life have become increasingly blurred, especially in today’s world of remote work, constant connectivity, and the pressures of balancing multiple responsibilities. When personal issues, mental health concerns, menopause or life stresses are carried into the workplace, whether from family dynamics, financial worries, or health challenges, they can significantly affect an individual’s focus, energy, and motivation. 

Organisations that recognise this blurring of boundaries and create a supportive environment where mental health, work-life integration, and flexibility are prioritised are likely to see better employee engagement, loyalty, and ultimately, better results. This includes offering mental health resources, promoting flexible working arrangements, and encouraging an understanding and empathetic workplace culture.

How I Can Support Your Team:

  • Regular On-Site Mindset/Menopause Sessions (triage): I can be present at your workplace on a schedule that suits your team (monthly, every 6 weeks, or quarterly).
  • Open-Door Sessions: Offer group or one-to-one sessions where team members can seek help and support in a confidential and empowering environment.
