Under the Employment Rights Bill, menopause is moving into formal workplace compliance, requiring UK employers to publish, evidence and review a Menopause Action Plan from April 2026.

Women’s health changes across the course of a career, and workplaces that recognise this keep women productive, engaged, and progressing. The 3Ms Framework provides science-led, end-to-end support across menstruation, maternity, and menopause, removing stigma, strengthening equality, and helping organisations retain talent, improve performance, and meet evolving compliance expectations. Good for women. Good for business.
Our work spans multiple regulatory environments — for example, supporting UK employers as menopause moves into workplace compliance, and Irish employers navigating Gender Pay Gap Information Reporting — while also addressing the wider cultural, governance, and operational changes needed for long-term impact.
In the US, UK, Europe and Ireland.
*Research conducted by Menopause Hub, 2023, 3,044 peri/menopausal females.
“What surprised me about the menopause was the number and range of symptoms that can be experienced, from very little, to many I had not known about. I knew many women have symptoms, but hadn’t realised the impact on their partners. If someone in a relationship can’t sleep, this can impact the partner’s sleep too, with knock on consequences at work. Finding ways to support staff with the symptoms was at first daunting, but the course taught simple ways that can help, and where to direct people for help. I recommend the Menopause Champion course to everyone. Only with greater awareness and understanding can we support our friends, families and work colleagues.”
— Stuart Beamish, Senior Brand Manager, Consilient Health
“I recently completed the Menopause Champions course with The Menopause Hub Academy, led by the brilliant Isabelle Courtney, and I can’t recommend it highly enough. Isabelle is an outstanding trainer - warm, engaging, and incredibly knowledgeable. Her passion for empowering people with the right tools and understanding around menopause really shone through, making the learning experience both informative and inspiring.
What I particularly enjoyed was the practical focus of the course. It didn’t just cover the facts; it gave us clear, actionable insights on how to support others in the workplace, foster open conversations, and help create a more inclusive and understanding environment. The mix of evidence-based content, real-life scenarios, and open discussion made the course incredibly valuable.
I came away feeling much more confident in my role as a Menopause Champion and genuinely inspired to help drive positive change. If you’re thinking about taking this course - do it. It’s insightful, professionally delivered, and incredibly empowering.”
— Kelly Pearce, Commercial Manager - National & Retail, Consilient Health
As part of our EDI (Equity, Diversity, Inclusion) agenda which tackled subjects that we knew were important to our people. Menopause Hub ran fantastic training, building awareness around Menopause, what to expect and how to create the right support for employees going through it. The feedback we got was overwhelmingly positive, people found the training very relatable, refreshing and supportive.

Loretta has spoken at a number of different webinars and education sessions at Bank of Ireland, raising awareness of menopause in the workplace, promoting the supports available and our menopause policy. We also collaborated with the Menopause hub on our menopause e-learning training. Loretta and the team were brilliant to work with in designing training that fitted our specific learning needs perfectly and our implementation was very smooth. As a result of this education, we feel we have opened up the conversation, reducing stigma. Our colleagues now feel more confident in talking about the challenges they face and seeking support.
— Joanne Healy, Head of Employee Relations, Bank of Ireland
Thank you Loretta for delivering such a wonderfully educational seminar for An Post, we have learned so much, and all attendees are now fully fledged Menopause Ambassadors!

Diversity and inclusion is a top objective for us in LIDL, and we are always looking to improve the supports that we offer to our employees. Our successes, milestones, and achievements have been supported by many partnerships throughout the years and our partnership with ‘The Menopause Hub’ has more than delivered on this objective. They took the time to understand who we are as a company and provided us with the tools we needed to become a menopause friendly workplace through awareness and educational training. Through their help we now understand that our role as a company is to empower those going through menopause.
— Maeve McCleane - Chief People Officer, Lidl Ireland & Northern Ireland
Our staff, including managers engaged in Menopause Training which was held live via self-paced online learning, a great platform. Our Menopause Champions also were trained via e-learning and the champion model is now well established within the hospital. We will be forever grateful for the Menopause Hub assisting us in making normal the conversation in relation to Menopause.
— Maria Kearns, Head of HR, National Orthopaedic Hospital Cappagh
We had two menopause sessions at Distilled, one for employees and one for managers. Both sessions were an undeniable success, delivering both informative and powerful insights. The feedback received was extremely positive, with all employees expressing gratitude for demystifying menopause and providing practical tips. shedding light on a significant life stage with clarity and relevance. I absolutely recommend it for any organisation that is seeking valuable insights and empowerment.
