About MENO-kit

MENO-kit is a pioneering, evidence-based digital resource designed to support all workplaces, regardless of size, in responding effectively to menopause. It provides accessible, practical guidance and training to help organisations create inclusive, informed and supportive environments.

Why attend

The launch comes at a pivotal moment, aligning with the Government’s renewed focus on women’s health following the publication of the updated Women’s Health Strategy, and forthcoming requirements for larger employers (250+ employees) to develop Equality Action Plans, including menopause support.

This is an opportunity to:

• Be among the first to explores this important new national resource
• Hear directly from policymakers and subject-matter experts
• Understand how to prepare your organisation for upcoming expectations
• Be part of a growing movement to improve women’s health at work

We hope you can join us for this important and forward-looking discussion.

Funded by Wellbeing of Women and developed by leading researchers at Lancaster University, the University of Nottingham and King's College London, MENO-kit is grounded in over a decade of research into menopause at work. It has been rigorously tested with UK organisations to ensure it is practical, relevant and easy to implement in real-world settings.
