Menopause-Informed Workplace Support for Organisations Preparing for 2027 Acas Requirements and Beyond.

Specialist menopause workplace consultancy supporting UK organisations with policy, governance, manager training, facilitated peer group support and structured 1:1 menopause coaching.

Preparing for 2027 and Beyond

With legal expectations for menopause action plans coming into force in 2027, aligned to Acas guidance, organisations need structured workplace support that is safe, proportionate and defensible — not left to informal practices or manager discretion.

The Challenge

Many organisations want to support staff through menopause — but feel unsure of how to:

  • Translate guidance and requirements into action

  • Equip managers with menopause awareness and capability training.

  • Provide appropriate employee support

  • Avoid discrimination risk

  • Ensure consistency across teams

When left informal, menopause support can become manager-dependent, inconsistent, and potentially risky.

How We Help

We help organisations implement proportionate, structured menopause support that protects employees and strengthens workplace culture. Our frameworks combine:

  • Organisational policy alignment

  • Manager capability building

  • Structured 1:1 menopause coaching

  • Facilitated peer group support

  • Ongoing review and governance

Our work ensures menopause support is bespoke, embedded systemically — and not left to goodwill.

Who We Work With

We support:

  • HR and People teams

  • Organisations reviewing menopause readiness

  • Employers preparing for 2027 Acas expectations

  • Workplaces wanting structured, proportionate support

Why this matters

“It is estimated that there are around 13 million people who are currently peri or menopausal in the UK, which is equivalent to a third of the entire UK female population” (Wellbeing of Women,2025)

“Menopause is a natural physiological event that happens to all women. Menopausal women are the fastest-growing demographic in the workplace. Almost 8 out of 10 menopausal people are in work” (The Faculty of Occupational Medicine)

A CIPD Menopause in the workplace employee experiences report carried Out in 2023, concluded:

Impact on Work: 73% of employees surveyed have experienced menopause symptoms, and 67% of women with symptoms reported a mostly negative effect on their work.

Leaving Work/Reducing Hours: Research indicates 10% of women leave their jobs due to symptoms, while 14% have reduced their hours.

Absenteeism: Over half (53%) of surveyed women have taken time off work due to symptoms.

Productivity & Symptoms: 40% of women report that symptoms, such as anxiety, mood disturbances, and lack of concentration, affect their productivity.

Support & Policies: While 87% of women want more support, only 24% to 25% of employers have a specific menopause policy in place.

Supportive Measures: 84% of employees without support say symptoms have a negative impact on work, compared to 71% of those with support.
