This spring, employers will be able to publish their Menopause Action Plans online on a voluntary basis. But, by Spring 2027, Menopause Action Plans will be a legal requirement for employers with more than 250 employees.

The countdown has started and there is no time to wait...

Many organisations are still asking:

❓ What should a Menopause Action Plan actually include?
❓ How do we make sure it’s compliant and meaningful?
❓ How do we avoid a tick-box exercise and get this right for our people?

That’s exactly what this session is designed to answer. Book your spot now👇

Is your organisation menopause friendly? How are colleagues and team members supported with menopause? 🤔

OVO has a culture of inclusion and belonging where they put people first and actively encourage everyone to be themselves. This is rooted in their belief that happy people are more engaged and also feel better equipped to do their job well. They work tirelessly to create a supportive working environment where everyone is heard and feels valued. 🤩

They achieved Menopause Friendly Accreditation, the only accreditation that sets clear standards which must be met and is considered by many as a mark of excellence for menopause in the workplace. Want to find out more? Please get in touch.

Menopause Action Plans are no longer a future consideration or a nice-to-have. They are now written into UK employment law and represent one of the most significant advances in workplace inclusion in decades.

For too long, menopause at work was misunderstood, minimised or ignored altogether. Today, that has changed.

Menopause support is moving from informal good practice to a clear legal and strategic requirement for employers.

But a Menopause Action Plan that genuinely works is about far more than compliance. It is about culture, leadership and long-term impact. Find out more in our latest article on our website now.

Further guidance on Menopause Action Plans is expected to be published on International Women’s Day. Having been involved as a stakeholder with the Cabinet Office and the Equality and Human Rights Commission, one message is already clear. 💬

Menopause Action Plans will be about far more than producing a document, writing a policy or delivering a one-off training session.

Our experience over the last decade shows that real, sustainable change happens when organisations focus on culture. Changing attitudes to menopause at work means changing hearts and minds and that requires a strategy tailored to the organisation. 💡

Every workplace is different. Cultures, job roles, working environments, existing policies and geographic spread all influence what good menopause support looks like.

A Menopause Action Plan that delivers impact must reflect this reality. Tick-box approaches and headline pledges do not change lived experience.

This is exactly why the Menopause Friendly standards and playbook lead the way. Find out more over on our website. 🔗
