Menopause support in the workplace

Employees can use their membership privately, without naming a symptom or telling anyone at work about their menopause. Each employee chooses what they want to work on, and everything they get is written around their choice.

• An employee who wants better sleep gets affirmation tracks and daily practices about sleep.
• Tracks about confidence help employees believe in their own ability again.
• Before a meeting, an employee can listen to a 5 minute reset with headphones in, and nobody else needs to know what they’re listening to.

Each employee can change their focus whenever they like, so their support changes as their needs change.

Most managers find talking about menopause hard, and worry about saying the wrong thing. Managers get their own set of 5 minute resets, including a 5 minute reset for a difficult conversation they’ve been putting off. This 5 minute reset helps managers get their thoughts straight in the few minutes before the conversation, so they start the conversation calmer and listen better.

Managers also get a tool for planning a short team session on wellbeing, so the whole team can talk about wellbeing together. Team sessions never single anyone out.

Build Your Inner Voice works alongside your HR policy, your occupational health provider, your Employee Assistance Programme and any adjustments you already offer, and works without any changes to your existing support. When an employee asks what menopause support you offer, you can offer them a private workplace membership straight away.

• Your employees’ support is private. You never see whether a named person has used their membership or what anyone writes, so employees feel comfortable being honest and are more likely to use their membership. Each month you get a simple report with totals for the whole team, showing how many people are using their membership (once 3 or more people have) and whether they say their membership is helping (once 5 or more people have answered). You can see which email addresses have claimed a membership, so you can hand memberships out and take them back. That email list is for organising memberships and is not a record of who has used one.
• We run everything for you. You get one invoice and one team code. People sign up in a minute, with no app to install.
• You can change the number of places easily. Add places whenever you need them, and free a place up when someone leaves so you can give it to someone else.

You can get support now, before your workplace offers Build Your Inner Voice. You can make your own personalised track today, written about whatever you’d like to feel better about, such as sleep or your confidence at work.

Make a track for sleep or make a track for confidence. One off payment from £7.

You can also ask your workplace to offer Build Your Inner Voice to everyone, and we’ll write the message for you.

If menopause has changed how confident you feel in your sport, our guide to menopause and confidence in sport has four free routines to try.

Build Your Inner Voice is a personal wellbeing tool rather than a medical service, and menopause itself isn’t an illness. Build Your Inner Voice works alongside your GP and your workplace’s own support. Your GP is the right person for medical advice, including diagnosis and treatment. NICE, the body that writes health guidance in England, says talking therapies can help with some menopause symptoms, alongside or instead of hormone replacement therapy (HRT). We help with the everyday side of menopause, such as the things people say to themselves at 3am or just before a meeting, and we aren’t a replacement for therapy.
