Maybe you’re an employee who’s noticed your own symptoms – or those of a colleague – and you’re wondering how to start a conversation about menopause at work. Or perhaps you’re a business leader who cares about wellbeing and inclusion, but you’re not sure where to begin.
Whatever your role, there are lots of practical ways to get your workplace thinking and talking about menopause.
One of the simplest first steps is visibility and conversation starters. Download a WellFemme tearoom flyer and pop it up in shared spaces like the lunchroom, bathroom, kitchen or near the coffee machine. These flyers are designed to be friendly and informative – they can spark curiosity and give people permission to think and talk about menopause without it feeling awkward. You might also want to think about who in your workplace could be a Menopause Champion – someone who naturally cares about health, wellbeing and inclusion. It might be someone in HR, a team leader, or it could be you! A Champion helps keep the topic alive and supports others who might feel unsure about how to bring it up.
Another easy way to spread awareness is by using your workplace’s internal communications. Ask your manager or HR team if they’ll send out an email with a link to WellFemme’s free menopause assessment. This quick online tool helps people understand where they might be on their menopause journey – and it’s a helpful way to normalise that experience for anyone who clicks the link. That same email could include links to WellFemme’s information webinars. These online sessions are friendly, evidence-based and run by experts who know women’s health inside out. They’re a great way for your colleagues – whether they’re going through menopause themselves or just want to learn – to gain accurate information in a supportive space.
If your workplace is open to group learning, you could suggest hosting a lunchtime webinar with one of WellFemme’s GPs. These sessions are relaxed and non-judgmental – perfect for a lunch-and-learn format. Your team can tune in together, ask questions and leave with practical tips that make a real difference.
For workplaces that want something a bit more structured, there’s also the option to license WellFemme’s online women’s wellness program, Next Phase. This comprehensive program supports women through perimenopause and menopause with clear education, tools and community. Having it available through your workplace means ongoing support that goes beyond a single session.
WellFemme has created so many great ways to support and educate staff and employees – from flyers and free assessments to webinars and full wellness programs. These resources are designed to be easy, friendly and practical, so you can find something that feels right for your workplace culture. If you’re thinking, “Yes – I want to help spread the word in my workplace” then why not take the next step? Explore all the resources we have to offer. Whether you’re ready to start a conversation today or build a longer-term plan, there’s something here to help you make menopause a part of workplace wellbeing.
