Gender at Work Menopause Toolkit

Ready to create a menopause-inclusive workplace?

The menopausal transition affects a significant portion of our ageing workforce, affecting physical and mental well-being. Organisations who address these challenges can increase employee engagement, performance, and retention. 

Enter the Gender at Work Menopause Toolkit - a kete (basket) of wisdom, resources, and guidance on creating a menopause-inclusive workplace. This toolkit is filled with real and practical ideas that are tried and tested in New Zealand organisations. 

In 2021, we identified the opportunities to address menopause-related challenges and incorporated addressing them as advanced criteria into our GenderTick accreditation. Built on the wisdom of leading organisations, this toolkit was created to enable all businesses of all sizes to commit to menopause-inclusive workplaces.  

 

Buy the toolkit as a stand-alone offer for non-community members.

Become a Gender at Work Community Member and access the toolkit as a FREE benefit.
