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.

MENOPAUSE & MINDSET AT WORK CLINIC

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.
