From Kathryn Carter, CEO
Practical advice for navigating menopause in the workplace with confidence and support.
Let your manager know in advance you'd like to discuss a personal health issue affecting your work, to create a respectful, supportive space.
Know what you want from the conversation and be clear about your needs – whether it's flexibility, support, or simply to inform.
Write down the symptoms you are experiencing and how they're impacting your work so you can explain calmly and clearly.
Come prepared with ideas that will help manage your symptoms and maintain your work performance, such as work hours, quiet workspaces and wellness support.
Be realistic – your manager may need time to understand and consider support options. Record any agreed next steps to follow up.
Join our community of supportive companies and help create more inclusive workplaces for everyone.
