Menopause affects millions of women in the workplace, many at the peak of their careers. Yet many organisations still lack the resources and support women need to manage symptoms and continue thriving at work.
Menopause is increasingly recognised as an important workplace wellbeing issue, with many UK employers introducing menopause policies and initiatives to better support women and retain experienced staff.
Owning Your Menopause (OYM) partners with organisations to provide practical, accessible menopause resources that help women better understand their symptoms, feel more confident seeking support and remain engaged in their careers.
Our corporate partnerships can include fitness support, wellbeing resources, nutrition guidance, expert advice, workplace talks and access to a supportive community.
We work with organisations to create curated menopause support packages for employees.
Through our platform, employees can access:
Midlife-friendly fitness classes designed to support strength, mobility and energy levels
Wellbeing and Mindfulness to support mental health, sleep and overall wellbeing
Nutrition guidance focused on supporting women during midlife
Expert insights from medical professionals, including GPs and menopause specialists
A supportive community where women can share experiences and feel less alone
These resources are designed to be accessible in employees’ own time, helping women find practical ways to manage menopause alongside their working lives.
Organisations can offer this support as part of employee wellbeing programmes, workplace menopause initiatives or staff benefits.
OYM corporate packages are designed for organisations that want to better support women in their workforce.
This includes:
HR and People teams
Employee wellbeing leads
