Certified Expert-Led Training & Strategic HR Solutions

As organizations face growing expectations around health equity and upcoming UK Menopause Action Plan standards, the way we handle life transitions at work defines our culture, talent retention, and commercial resilience.

Led by Lisa Hughes (FCIPD, LCHE, RHom) a Senior HR & Organisational Development Consultant with 30 years of corporate experience, a Fellow of the CIPD, and a registered classical homeopath—this certified corporate programme bridges the vital gap between legal risk mitigation, commercial compliance, and human-centric performance.

Why Menopause Support is a Business Imperative

• The Scale: Perimenopause can begin from the early 30s and symptoms can extend through the 60s, affecting nearly half of your workforce at any given time.

• The Cost of Inaction: Menopause accounts for an estimated 14 million working days lost annually in the UK, translating to billions in lost productivity.

• Protecting Talent: With 1 in 10 employees leaving work due to a lack of support, structured certified interventions reduce turnover, eliminate costly employment tribunals, and safeguard your most experienced mid-career talent.

Our Certified 3-Week Corporate Programme Structure

1. Phase 1: Diagnostic Insight & Pre-Survey

   • Establish baseline data using our comprehensive 10-question staff survey to map symptom barriers, training gaps, and policy familiarity.

2. Phase 2: The Certified 3-Part Workshop Series (3 x 2-Hour Interactive Sessions over 3 Weeks)

   • Week 1 – Understanding the Journey & Legal Compliance: Demystifying perimenopause/menopause, navigating Equality Act responsibilities (age, sex, and disability law), and establishing psychological safety.

   • Week 2 – Balanced Communication, Humor & Role-Play: Mastering "Radical Candor," evaluating intent vs. impact regarding workplace humor, and utilizing structured manager-employee support dialogues.

   • Week 3 – Operational Excellence & Action Planning: Integrating company policies, conducting workplace physical audits, and setting up collaborative action frameworks.
