MENOPAUSE NEWS
Let's talk about and to men
Raising awareness…generating interest… providing education… we have seen a huge change in recent years amongst men with many genuinely seeking more information on how best to support partners at home and colleagues within the workplace.
There is, however, always room for improvement!
To help us discuss this important topic in the next episode of Menopause Matters, Let’s Talk podcast we’re delighted to have on as a guest Nic Elliot who wears two hats at Actons Solicitors as the HR director and as head of the employment law team. He interestingly had an overwhelming response to a post he put up on LinkedIn about the Menopause, opening up a place where numerous people felt comfortable to share their personal experiences, whether supporting partners & colleagues or experiencing the menopause themselves.
This was a refreshingly open and honest conversation about the impact menopause can have on relationships, the strain it can cause, and how best to navigate what can often be a turbulent time for everyone.
Then there’s the additional challenges within the workplace, especially as a male manager. Suggestions as to what can help and should training on the menopause become mandatory? We also touch on the new Menopause Action Plans coming into play in 2026... all very interesting.

Employers... how we can help you get ahead with your Menopause Action Plan, before it becomes mandatory in 2027
From April 2026 large employers should voluntarily publish an Equality (or Menopause) Action Plan; by 2027 this becomes mandatory. The plan must cover menopause support (alongside gender pay gap action). To help with that we can now offer companies and organisations, large or small, the opportunity to subscribe to the Digital Version of Menopause Matters and enable their employees/members access to the online magazine.
Email us for further information and pricing using the link below. Providing an indication of how many employees/members you would like to have access would be most helpful.
