How is your business dealing with menopause?
Latest on Employment Rights Bill
The UK’s Employment Rights Bill marks the first explicit legislative mention of menopause, mandating employers with 250+ staff to publish equality action plans addressing menopause support and gender pay gaps, voluntary from April 2026, mandatory by 2027.
For companies, this mean they will be required to develop policies, training, and accommodations to comply and retain talent amid 14 million lost workdays yearly from symptoms. Independent trainers will also see heightened demand for expertise in menopause awareness training and education.
The Kathryn Colas Academy focuses on long term solutions, by delivering trusted, evidence-based information into the workplace with measurable outcomes.
➡️ Raising awareness of menopause has been shown to have positive long-term benefits on equity, diversity and inclusion
➡️ Being proactive and forward thinking prior to potential legislative changes, demonstrates long term commitment to employees, attracting and retaining talent.
➡️ Successful programmes begin with opportunities for knowledge sharing and collaboration to ensure inclusivity.
➡️ Having your own trained menopause coaches, ambassadors and champions within your organisation ensures professional management for the long term.
Certified knowledge. Confident individuals. Stronger organisations.
We offer support through menopause training for independent coaches and trainers, HR and Line Managers, customised webinars and workshops, and one-on-one consultations.
