Menopause in the Workplace Strategy & Training:

Your staff deserve more than just a menopause policy
Because 96% of women* want more than just a menopause policy. They also want training and resources in their workplace. They want to stop suffering in silence. They want to be heard.
*According to 2021 survey of over 500 working women in the menopause age bracket.
Shatter the menopause taboo in your workplace for good
It's time to take your company beyond 'menopause aware'. It's time to empower your female staff with the resources they need to face disruptive symptoms. And to ready HR & Management for the sensitive conversations. The outcome? True cultural change. And a more inclusive workplace. For everybody.

A safe place for our employees to have an open discussion
Catherine gave a hugely informative and educational session with lots of practical and useful advice on how to manage and approach the perimenopausal and menopausal stage of life. Catherine provided a safe place for our employees to have an open discussion. As a result the questions asked and sharing of experience enriched the talk and gave a real sense of connection and common understanding.

I was a 44-year-old corporate director and I thought I was losing it
At that point I was decades into a career in the financial services industry. So I put my overwhelm down to corporate burnout. A lack of ability to cope.
It was a revelation when I finally learnt I wasn't going mad... I was in perimenopause. It was another revelation to experience how the corporate world fails to support women going through menopause - a phase of life that can last over a decade.
Since starting Wellness Warrior, I've worked with hundreds of companies to shatter the taboo. So no woman has to struggle in silence.

All employees were engaged
Catherine was very personable throughout the webinar. She made the session interactive and not all about a PowerPoint presentation. All employees were engaged throughout the session!

We see this as the beginning of our journey
A powerful suite of tools and a wealth of information that every school, college and university should offer to all staff, for the benefit of all. Catherine’s abounded knowledge of this subject and her authentic, empathetic and compassionate delivery of the workshop were both very informative and enlightening. We see this as the beginning of our journey with Catherine.

'Women in our staff reach out to say thank you for bringing attention to this'
It's huge when your people feel seen and heard.
But the thing is, most companies will never be brave enough to enter the menopause conversation. They'll leave their employees feeling isolated. Scared they're viewed as 'past their use-by-date'.
But you can be the one who not only starts the conversation. Who not only drafts a menopause policy. But who actually enlivens a culture of support in your workplace.
Choose support over silence
The full Menopause Workplace Inclusivity Programme gives you access to everything your workplace needs to shatter the taboo. For good.
You get a comprehensive menopause strategy that leads to meaningful change. It sets your workplace up to retain staff past the menopausal age. Preps HR & management to enter into a culture of open conversation with staff. Encourages male colleagues to attend trainings. Shows female colleagues the value they deserve... during a time when hormonal change can shake their confidence.

Resonated with people of all ages and stages in life
Relevant, insightful and resonated with people of all ages and stages in life who will at some stage in their own lives either experience perimenopause or know someone who may be experiencing perimenopause. Catherine has a great way of connecting with an audience and we found her very welcoming and approachable. The feedback from the attendees was extremely positive and we look forward to having Catherine back.

No question was too much
Catherine talked through the facts of Menopause using virtual illustrations, shared experiences and the bitter truths, which really resonated with the many women on the call. She was enthusiastic, really engaging and extremely knowledgeable. No question was too much. On a personal note, she gave me some of her valuable time and shared advice on how I should deal with my own challenges. Thank You - You were brilliant.
