Background and Context

It is estimated that there are currently 13 million UK women who are perimenopausal. This is equivalent to almost one third of the UK female population. With an ageing UK population, more women than ever, 8 out 10 menopausal women, will be working into and beyond menopause.

A significant number of women have left work due to the impact of menopause at work. “The Menopause and the Workplace” report by the Fawcett Society and Channel 4 found that 10% of women aged 45-55 had left their job because of symptoms of the menopause.

This course is designed to give staff a better understanding of the Menopause, demonstrate ways they can make adjustments and help colleagues who may be suffering and to prompt thought on the sensitive decisions surrounding whether and how best, if applicable, to notify management and colleagues.
