MENO-Kit

MENO-kit is a free, evidence-based online toolkit for UK organisations wanting to raise awareness of the menopause and support people experiencing it at work.

Developed from academic research led by Dr Claire Hardy at Lancaster University, the toolkit is built around four modules: general training on menopause and work for everyone in an organisation, an online magazine explaining menopause and its management for menopausal women and colleagues, training for people taking on a menopause champion role, and a module introducing cognitive behavioural strategies for managing menopausal symptoms.

Content is designed to be used without significant preparation by the organisation, combining short videos, downloadable resources and completion certificates so that HR, line managers, occupational health, EDI representatives and trade union representatives can each use the parts relevant to their role.

The toolkit is aimed at organisations wanting a ready-made, research-backed starting point for menopause support rather than building training from scratch, and is accessed online at no cost rather than commissioned as a paid consultancy project.
