Thank you for joining our Menopause in the Workplace webinars and to the team at HPMA for organising them. We hope you enjoyed the sessions and they were genuinely helpful for your next steps in becoming a menopause friendly organisation.
The aim is to make it easy for you to develop your menopause approach and plan, getting everyone talking about menopause and putting the right training and support in place. We’re with you all the way.
In the webinar series were:
- How menopause friendly is your organisation
- Menopause and employment law with Jog Hundle from Mills & Reeve
- Showcase: organisations demonstrating best practice with Suzanne Banks CBE (former Chief Nurse of Sherwood Forest Hospitals NHS Trust), Amanda-Jane Weir (Queen Elizabeth Hospital, Kings Lynn) and Anne-Marie Dunkley (Northampton General Hospital).
We’ll continue to look at the key themes of resources you’ve said will help. Here are the next key steps…
Step 1. Download ‘How menopause friendly is your organisation‘ checklist. Simply click on the image and ‘save as’ to store it or you can print it off too.

Menopause policies and guidance documents – examples
A few of you asked for example menopause factsheets or policies. We do have some templates, but we haven’t written two guidance documents or policies that are exactly the same. The best thing to do is to have a chat with us first, so we can understand what would work best for your organisation. In the meantime, here are a few examples.
Humber Teaching NHS Foundation Trust
Thank you to Helen Mumby and the team for allowing us to share their handouts (click on the link below):

We’ve also asked other organisations we’ve supported if we can share theirs with you too – so stay tuned!
