Raising awareness and understanding of menopause has the potential to enhance women’s economic participation in the UK. There are now more women over 50 in British workplaces than ever before, with one in three workers in menopause transition making the issue even more pertinent.


Businesses not supporting female employees through menopause cost the UK economy millions of pounds each year.


Our seminars and workshops provide insight for Line Managers and HR Professionals into how menopause transition can impact on women’s lives and careers. It considers the legal implications for line managers and organisations and identifies good practice in supporting women during this time in their lives and beyond. In talking about menopause, it helps to remove the taboo which surrounds it, enabling constructive conversations to take place.


They identify potential steps that their organisation can take to incorporate support for women experiencing menopause by retaining their skills and talents and supporting them to retrain/acquire new skills.

My involvement with the development of women began in 1994 when I was appointed as Programme Director for women’s courses in the Inland Revenue. Over the next 11 years I designed and facilitated a residential training course and became licensed and ran around 50 Springboard Women’s Development programmes throughout the UK. Since becoming self-employed in 2005 my interest in women’s development has continued and I have worked with women who have not been economically active for some time, those who want to start their own businesses and those who want to raise their profile in the public sector.
