    Create Confidence

    Menopause symptoms are nothing to be ashamed of. A menopause-friendly workplace gives women the confidence to discuss what they’re experiencing and ask for support should they need it. Easy to implement HR policies make it possible.

    Build Understanding

    Our goal is for everyone to understand what menopause is so that an open dialogue can be established. It isn’t just an issue for women. Men must be aware too so that they can support their female family, friends, and colleagues.

    Affect Real Change

    Recognizing menopause in the workplace leads to tangible cultural and financial benefits. Our professional training materials are written by experts in their fields and designed for all genders. The “change” is coming. Is your company ready?

    Provide Support

    Women at work often hide their symptoms from their co-workers. Since there is no “Oh, let’s not be in menopause today” button or magic pill, having an HR policy for this women’s health initiative is smart business.

    Menopausal women are the fastest growing workplace demographic.

    It’s time to include menopause training and policies to your company’s women’s health initiatives. According to one well known workplace insurer, “Experienced middle-aged women are leaving the workforce in droves. These women are likely to be at the top of their game, but without the right support, at the right time, they are unable to reach their full potential.”*

    Our workplace training programs can help you retain and empower the women on your team.
