Why Does
Menopause Matter?


Supporting women with menopausal symptoms can have a positive impact on both employee well-being, retention and the bottom line for your business.

Make it count

Did you know that ten percent of women undergoing menopause end up exiting their jobs, while a staggering 25% contemplate doing the same? When an employee grappling with menopause decides to step away, it's not just their presence that's missed – it's the wealth of experience, skills, knowledge, and intellectual capital they take with them.

Research indicates that perimenopause and menopause collectively cost UK businesses approximately 14 million working days annually, amounting to a significant £1.88 billion in lost productivity each year.

What can help?

  • Training all staff on how to approach this topic with understanding discretion, and sensitivity and knowing where to signpost essential support.

  • Having polices or frameworks in place that cover menopause.

  • Fostering an open, inclusive culture where people feel comfortable enough to talk about their menopause symptoms.

How we can help!

Positive Pause bespoke online awareness-raising sessions delivered to line managers and/or all staff, are planned in partnership with our clients to ensure everyone takes away improved knowledge and confidence talking about menopause as a workplace matter. From Arsenal Football Club to Greenpeace, we’ve talked menopause in many different sectors!

What do businesses say about our training?

Positive Pause provided us with a tailor-made training session which they seamlessly delivered to 175 colleagues via Zoom. This is generally a taboo subject but with the help of Positive Pause, the sessions were informative, engaging and thought-provoking.

The feedback we have received from colleagues has been fantastic and our managers feel much more confident in helping support their teams.

Ann and Jo have been great to work with, as trainers everyone has said how relatable and knowledgeable they are, and the whole thing was simple.
