View Course details

Only a small number of organisations in the UK have policies in place to support those transitioning through menopause, and as a result, many individuals are leaving their jobs because they feel unable to talk about their experiences and health and how this is affecting their work.

This online course focuses on giving managers the skills and techniques needed to have supportive conversations with individuals in the team about peri-menopause and menopause and the impact of this transition on their work and life. It enables managers to think about how they can support individuals, maximising the retention of key skills and experience in the organisation, and creating a positive, inclusive working environment.

We would highly recomend you first attend the ‘Introduction to Menopause Awareness’ F2F course, or complete it digitally before beginning this course.

This course will take you between 2 – 2 1/2 hours to complete and you can work through it at your own pace with resources, videos, articles case studies and other materials available 24/7 to inform yourself and your work colleagues
