The workplace equality landscape in the UK has shifted significantly. Under the Employment Rights Act 2025, large employers – those with 250+ employees – are now encouraged to publish Equality Action Plans covering both gender pay gap and menopause actions, voluntarily from April 2026, with mandatory requirements from April 2027.
The business case is clear:
- Menopausal symptoms cost the UK economy roughly 14 million workdays a year
- Women over 50 are the fastest-growing group in the workforce
- Around 80% of women aged 40–55 experience menopausal symptoms; 1 in 4 need significant workplace support
- £1.5 billion is lost annually to women leaving employment, plus £191 million to absence and £22 million to presenteeism
I offer structured workplace training and coaching programmes that help sustainability-focused organisations create gender equal and menopause-friendly workplaces in 90 days or less.
This programme helps organisations move from uncertainty about equality and menopause to inclusive workplaces, supportive policies, and practical solutions.
Do you have an Equality Action Plan yet?
As more women in sustainability and purpose-led professions reach midlife, workplaces must provide the proper understanding and support for those navigating peri- menopause.
These natural life transitions can impact energy, confidence, and focus – yet with the proper awareness, culture, and communication, they can also become a time of renewed purpose and leadership strength.
In a 2022 Fawcett report, 44% of women shared that menopausal symptoms affected their ability to work.
Having a structured plan in place helps provide appropriate levels of support and proactively address employee challenges.
By providing adjustments, employers can enhance employee retention, reduce absenteeism, and foster a positive work environment.
As a menopause trainer, I can support your organisation to develop your own menopause action plan – along with broader staff awareness and training- to help you shift your workplace culture and deliver impactful, lasting results.
My peri+menopause workplace training packages are designed for both private and third-sector organisations that are committed to gender equity, wellbeing, and sustainable leadership.

My programme helps organisations increase understanding, leadership confidence, and employee wellbeing, while reducing stigma, uncertainty, and the risk of losing experienced women from the workforce.
What does my programme look like?
My 3-step programme structure covers the depth organisations typically reach through awareness training, half-day manager/HR training, and full-day implementation training. It focuses on practical culture change while empowering organisations to create their own solutions.
Step 1: Awareness & Understanding
Menopause Awareness Training
This stage focuses on building understanding, removing stigma, and helping workplaces recognise why menopause inclusion matters.
Typically, by the end of stage one, my clients are experiencing:
- A much stronger awareness across teams of what menopause is and how it can impact employees at work.
- More open and respectful conversations about menopause, reducing stigma and silence.
- Increased empathy from colleagues and leaders towards people experiencing menopause symptoms.
- Greater confidence among staff to discuss menopause and ask for support where needed.
- Recognition from leadership that menopause inclusion is a wellbeing, equality, and talent retention issue.
Step 2: Manager & HR Capability
Half-Day Training for Managers and HR
This stage equips leaders with practical tools and confidence to support employees experiencing menopause.
Typically, by the end of stage two, my clients are experiencing:
- Managers who feel confident in having supportive and sensitive conversations about menopause.
- HR teams who understand their legal and duty-of-care responsibilities.
- Clear guidance on reasonable workplace adjustments that support employees experiencing symptoms.
- A shared understanding among leaders about how menopause can intersect with wellbeing, equality, and performance.
- Early drafts or key principles emerging for a workplace menopause policy and/or action plan.
Step 3: Policy, Culture & Action
Full-Day Implementation Workshop
This stage focuses on creating a practical roadmap for a gender and menopause-inclusive workplace.
Typically, by the end of stage three, my clients have gained:
- Menopause actions for your Equality Action Plan (EAP) – specifically supporting employees with priorities, responsibilities, and timelines.
- Leaders who understand how to embed menopause support within wellbeing, inclusion, and people strategies.
- Practical workplace solutions identified, e.g. adjustments, support pathways, internal champions.
- A stronger workplace culture where employees feel supported, valued, and able to thrive during menopause.
My credentials
I have delivered workplace training, change processes and projects for purpose-led organisations for over 25 years, including 18 years with the Soil Association.
I am delivering menopause training for the British Trust for Ornithology (BTO), one of the many clients I will be working with during National Menopause Awareness Month this October. They booked this after one of their staff attended the webinar ‘From Surviving to Thriving‘, which I ran for Women in Sustainability in April.
“When I came to your session, Traci, I felt so uplifted and hopeful. I thought, I want to bring that to the women at BTO who are going through all of this. Your session was so practical, and it just felt like there are actually really great things that we can do. Let’s share that.” Hazel McCambridge, BTO
I am an Associate Consultant with both Voscur and MMC. I am a coaching partner with Women in Sustainability.
“Your facilitation really helped us to understand ourselves as a collective and how we shape the organisational values … thank you, Traci!” Rebecca Mears, CEO, Voscur
I have been a green career mentor for over 10 years at Catalyse Change CIC, where I supported young women into green and sustainability careers. I trained as a coach in 2023 with Claire Zammit of the Institute of Women-Centred Coaching. I am also now a trained and certified menopause coach offering specialised coaching for midlife women working in sustainability.
I undertake ongoing CPD through reading, research, and training with menopause and hormone specialists, including the College of Naturopathic Medicine, Dr Louise Newson, and Lauren Chiren (Women of a Certain Stage), to deepen my knowledge and understanding of this complex and fascinating topic.
If you’re looking for a career and menopause trainer and coach to create a more supported, knowledgeable and inclusive workplace, I’d love to help.
