Menopause allyship at work: Creating supportive and inclusive workplace cultures webinar

16 October 2026, 1pm - 2pm
Virtual online

About the training course

Menopause affects millions of people in the workplace and can have a significant impact on wellbeing, confidence, performance and retention.

Yet many employees continue to experience barriers to support, while managers often lack the knowledge and confidence to have effective conversations.

Join us for this practical webinar to explore how individuals, managers and organisations can play a role in creating menopause-friendly workplaces.

Through expert insights, legal guidance, organisational best practice and lived experience, you'll gain a clearer understanding of why menopause support matters and what effective menopause allyship looks like in practice.

We'll examine the evolving legal landscape, discuss reasonable workplace adjustments, and share practical tools to help managers support colleagues experiencing menopause and peri-menopause.

You'll also hear examples of successful organisational initiatives that are helping to raise awareness, reduce stigma and improve employee experience.

Whether you are starting your menopause inclusion journey or looking to strengthen existing approaches, this session will provide actionable insights to help create psychologically safe environments where people can thrive at every stage of their career.

This webinar is relevant for employees, line managers, HR professionals, EDI practitioners and organisational leaders committed to creating more inclusive workplaces.
