Best Companies for Menopause Support UK (2026)
Which employers are leading the way with menopause support policies, workplace wellbeing programs, and resources for employees navigating menopause.
11th Mar 2026
1 in 10 women in the UK left their jobs due to menopause symptoms, according to research by the Fawcett Society. Yet most employers still don't have a formal menopause policy in place. That's starting to change, and the companies on this list are leading the way.
Menopause support in the workplace means the practical policies and adjustments employers put in place to help employees experiencing menopause or perimenopause. This includes flexible working options like adjusted hours or remote working, access to specialist health guidance, dedicated leave policies, and manager training so teams can respond with understanding and make reasonable adjustments.
Every company featured here is Flexa-verified, meaning their flexibility and workplace benefits have been independently verified. We've spotlighted what each employer actually offers, so you can find a workplace that genuinely supports you, not one that just ticks a box.
If you're looking for a job with an employer that takes menopause support seriously, this list is a great place to start.
What to look for in a menopause-supportive employer
Not all menopause policies are equal. Here's what genuinely supportive employers tend to offer:
- A formal menopause policy that sets out how the company supports employees, what adjustments are available, and how to access them without stigma
- Flexible working options including adjusted start and finish times, hybrid or remote working, and the ability to take time off without using sick leave
- Specialist health support such as access to menopause specialists, apps like Peppy, or private GP services that include menopause care
- Manager training so line managers understand menopause symptoms, know how to have supportive conversations, and can implement reasonable adjustments
- Employee networks including menopause champions, peer support groups, or awareness sessions that normalise the conversation at work
- Menopause Friendly accreditation, an independently awarded standard that shows an employer has met a recognised benchmark for menopause support
When researching employers, look for companies that can point to specific policies and programmes, not just a vague commitment to wellbeing.

FAQs about menopause support
What does menopause support at work look like?
Good menopause support includes practical adjustments like flexible working hours, temperature control in the office, and access to specialist health advice. Supportive employers also have dedicated menopause policies in place and provide training for managers so they understand how to have supportive conversations and make reasonable adjustments.
Who benefits from workplace menopause support?
Anyone going through menopause or perimenopause benefits directly from these policies and adjustments. But the benefits go wider than that. Colleagues and managers gain better understanding of how to support their teams, and employers retain experienced, talented staff who might otherwise feel forced to leave their roles.
What is Menopause Friendly accreditation?
Menopause Friendly accreditation is an industry-recognised standard that shows an employer takes menopause support seriously. To achieve it, companies must demonstrate their commitment through clear policies, manager training, and practical workplace adjustments. It's a useful signal when you're researching potential employers.
How can I find employers with menopause support?
Start by looking for employers with Menopause Friendly accreditation. You can also check company benefits pages on their websites, ask about women's health policies during the interview process, and use platforms like Flexa that let you filter by specific benefits. Don't be afraid to ask direct questions about what support is available.
What is the Menopause Workplace Pledge?
The Menopause Workplace Pledge is a UK campaign run by Wellbeing of Women. Employers who sign it commit to three things: recognising that menopause can be a workplace issue, talking openly and respectfully about menopause, and actively supporting employees experiencing symptoms. Signing the pledge is a meaningful signal of intent, though it is worth looking for employers who also back it up with specific policies and adjustments rather than the pledge alone.
