Following interest from male staff in learning more about menopause to support colleagues, we are running allyship training.

Become an ally

On 5 February, we’ll be running an Allyship training workshop aimed at those who will not experience menopause. In this session, you will learn why it’s so important to listen and make a difference for those directly impacted by menopause. This training is open to any member of staff - including trans or non-binary colleagues - who wish to support others and learn more about this important topic.

The training will be delivered by Henpicked: Menopause in the Workplace and Matt Balfour, founder of Let’s Go Wellbeing.

The session will cover:

  • what menopause is
  • how menopause can have an impact, especially at work
  • how does the experience of the menopause differ from one person to another
  • what can we do as colleagues to be better informed about the impact of the menopause
  • how we encourage colleagues to be true allies
  • how to have supportive conversations about menopause
  • what support is available in and outside the workplace
