Raising understanding and awareness of menopause in your business - why this really does matter!

The wide range of symptoms experienced by peri/menopausal women can bring implications for attendance, timekeeping, attitude and performance. In not being a menopause-supportive employer you are at risk of increased employee disputes possibly leading to litigation, due to a lack of awareness across employees, insufficient support and inappropriate handling of the problems of colleagues who may be struggling with menopause-associated health issues.

I work with employers who recognise that employee health and wellbeing is an important aspect of the success of an organisation.

I can relate to the challenges you face in managing often sensitive issues. I am here as an expert with in-depth subject knowledge, and relevant business and life experience to deliver potentially emotive information in a way that resonates with diverse audiences.

    Lisa has provided us a swift, professional, and personalised training service. Some in our team were a little apprehensive about Menopause but Lisa’s style was able to put people at ease and encouraged many to engage in the subject, so we all learnt a lot from her. I would recommend Lisa to any organisation that requires a trainer with an in-depth knowledge, conviction, and passion.

    DIRECTOR

    Her session was engaging, informative and provided the team with a great overview of the menopause transition, the wide range of symptoms, how to approach menopause from a holistic approach and additionally some practical steps that employers should consider implementing for menopausal employees.

    I recommend Lisa as a speaker as she has excellent subject knowledge and delivers information in a style that allows the audience to relate to her and the subject matter.

    FBDO & HR DIRECTOR

    Lisa handled a not often talked about subject sensitively providing a powerful and thought-provoking insight into the complexities of the symptoms of perimenopause, and how to have conversations with staff who may be experiencing some of the many symptoms. After a lively discussion and question session, followed up with a useful support guide our managers were left feeling confident in the knowledge that they would be more able to handle situations should they occur. If you are a Company who are looking to educate, empower and raise awareness then I would highly recommend.

    When we asked Lisa to come and speak about menopause awareness in our plant training days, it was with a little trepidation. Our plant operators are predominantly male and we did wonder how the sessions would be received. However, Lisa did a great job of breaking down the stereotypical thinking that a lot of us have on this subject and talked about the impact menopause can have on not only the person going through it but on the wider family. It soon became clear that some of our employees had partners and family members who were suffering with symptoms and the sessions were really well received. We had made the decision to roll out the awareness sessions after a male employee suggested we do so, due to his own wife really struggling, and we're so glad we did now.

    ORGANISATIONAL DEVELOPMENT & LEARNING CONSULTANT

    Lisa was recommended to me by a colleague. I found her approach to be professional yet approachable and she is clearly very knowledgeable in this area. The menopause awareness session which Lisa facilitated at the Growth Company was informative and engaging and we received positive feedback from those who attended. Colleagues left the session feeling empowered and more knowledgeable about how to manage their symptoms. The session was followed up with signposting to additional support and resources which was also useful.’

Why menopause matters in organisations

I feel strongly that "best in class" organisations are those that want to retain and attract the most talented employees. The impact of menopause is not just felt by middle age women, it can also affect partners, family members, work colleagues and employers. I can help your organisation and your employees understand and be supportive of anyone who may be struggling with their menopause or someone else's.

Common questions

  • UK companies currently employ over 9.5 million women who are of perimenopause or menopausal age, so it's likely that your organisation will have female employees who are in this phase of life and may need support from you their employers and their work colleagues.

  • I work with any size of business in any industry sector, irrespective of the point that they have reached in the implementation of their employee Health and Wellbeing (including menopause) policies.

  • Pretty much everyone will have either a wife, partner, mum, sister, female relative or colleague, who may be struggling with menopause symptoms. For many women the symptoms they experience can impact upon all aspects of their lives, including relationships with partners, husbands, family members and fellow employees. So it is really important to raise awareness amongst men of the potential impact that the menopause can have.

  • It is entirely down to the client's preference. If a client has multiple locations or home workers then remote sessions using Zoom or Teams can be offered, however experience has shown that with a subject like menopause, delegates do seem to engage more with in person sessions.

  • Whilst I can work in collaboration with an existing HR team, if you are the founder or owner manager of a small or medium size business I can also work with you or a member of your management team to ensure appropriate messaging and content are delivered to your staff.

  • We will have an initial call where we will talk through your organisation, employee demographics, current EDI, health and wellbeing policies and strategies and any menopause related issues or experiences within your existing workforce. Together we will determine the number of sessions and relevant content based upon your aims and intended audiences.

  • Once a date has been booked and the session content outline approved, at least two weeks in advance of the session date you will receive a first draft of the powerpoint slides for review and approval. If any changes are required we will agree what they are and an amended copy for approval will be sent. Once the slides are finalised within two days of the session date you will receive an electronic copy for distribution amongst the attendees. All materials are copyrighted to Menopause the Wright Way with permitted use and distribution within the organisation. Additional reference materials will be provided where agreed in advance for distribution at the session or electronically after the sessions have been delivered.
