Menopause at Work in the Charity and Third Sector

Menopause at Work in the Charity and Third Sector

People are at the heart of every charity and third-sector organisation. Retaining skilled, experienced and passionate employees is essential to delivering services, achieving impact and supporting beneficiaries.

Yet menopause can affect wellbeing, confidence, attendance and performance at work, and many managers feel unsure about how best to provide support.

This practical two-hour online workshop is designed specifically for leaders, managers, people professionals and wellbeing leads working within charities, voluntary organisations and the wider third sector.

Led by Jenny Bowers, Founder Director of Purplemoon and a Henpicked Licensed Menopause in the Workplace Trainer, the session provides practical knowledge and confidence to support employees experiencing menopause while helping organisations create inclusive and supportive workplace cultures.

During the workshop, you will:

• Understand menopause and its potential impact on working life.
• Explore how symptoms can affect wellbeing, confidence and workplace performance.
• Build confidence in having supportive and professional conversations.
• Consider practical and proportionate workplace adjustments.
• Explore the role of leaders and managers in creating menopause-supportive workplaces.
• Understand how menopause awareness can support wellbeing, inclusion and staff retention.
• Access reliable information, guidance and support resources.

For organisations that depend on the knowledge, commitment and experience of their people, creating a supportive workplace can help retain valuable talent while strengthening staff wellbeing and engagement.

By the end of the session, you will have increased understanding, practical tools and greater confidence to support colleagues experiencing menopause.

Suitable for: Charity leaders, CEOs, managers, HR professionals, wellbeing leads, supervisors, trustees and others with responsibility for people and culture.
