Supporting SMEs to be Menopause and Menstruation Friendly
Small businesses, big impact
SMEs make up 99.9% of UK businesses and employ over half of the UK workforce.
That’s millions of people who need the right support to thrive at work—through every stage of life.
Menopause and menstrual health matter
From the day we’re born to the day we die, our hormones are constantly changing and these changes can have a big impact on how we feel, think, and function.
This includes menstrual cycles, menstrual health, and menopause. In small teams, these challenges can feel even bigger, making the right support essential for everyone to thrive at work.
The workplace impact
Menstruation at Work
On average women will have around 480 periods in their lifetime.
1 in 3 experience severe period pain that affects their ability to work.
Heavy or irregular periods, endometriosis, and other mentrual health conditions can have a serious impact on daily life.
Simple workplace support like open conversations and small adjustments make a big difference.
Menopause at Work
1 in 10 leave their jobs due to menopause.
Symptoms like hot flushes, brain fog, anxiety, and fatigue can affect performance and confidence.
Many feel unable to talk about it at work or ask for support.
Supportive workplaces help people stay, thrive, and succeed.
Hormonal changes affect everyone. With the right awareness and support, SME employers can create workplaces where everyone can be at their best, every day.
Menstruation, Menstrual Health & Menopause workplace training is critical
We are dedicated to championing great work that will improve the lives of people during their menstruation and menopause journey. There are so many myths and so much misinformation around these subjects that the unbiased education and awareness that Henpicked provide is key.
Menstrual health and menopause directly affects 51% of the population, however, it indirectly effects everyone! Whether through personal relationships, at work or through friendships, it’s ripple effects can be far reaching, so building awareness is critical.
Creating environments where anyone can talk about these subjects openly and without embarrassment, brings them out into the open so that they can be normalised.
We make that easier for you…
