Men Applause the Menopause

The 5-step framework to engage male colleagues as active supporters of menopause inclusion

Menopause impacts 50% of the workforce directly – yet 61% of men don't know how to support a female colleague experiencing menopause. When only 1/3 of women feel comfortable talking to a male manager about menopause, we have a workplace inclusion problem that's costing businesses productivity, talent retention, and culture.

The solution: men as menopause allies
When male leaders clap, others follow. When the boardroom backs it, the break room believes it. True menopause inclusion scales when men aren't just informed – but actively engaged as allies.

Your five-step framework includes:
Step 1: Awareness & education – making menopause understanding a business imperative
Step 2: Creating safe, open conversations – because empathy drives performance
Step 3: Putting policy into practice – turning good intentions into real action
Step 4: Involving men as allies – scaling inclusion through leadership
Step 5: Monitor, adapt, repeat – measuring what matters
