Menopause Awareness month has been a huge success. I've delivered workshops and webinars to existing clients as well as lots of new ones, reaching thousands of people across the globe.

What does it mean to be "menopause-friendly" ? In the Global North the notion of a menopause policy has emerged and workplaces can gain "menopause-friendly" accreditation. This is a decree to support women in the menopause transition by raising awareness of menopause as a workplace issue, facilitating coping at work and the provision of resources for employers and employees alike. As you consider your own organisation, teams, clients and colleagues, how can you better understand and support the needs of working women facing menopause-related challenges ? Check out the Menopause Information Pack for Organizations (MIPO), a collection of free resources to embed menopause support into your workplace or work practice.
