Churchill Group awarded Menopause Friendly Workplace Accreditation
Churchill Group has been awarded Menopause Friendly Workplace Accreditation by Henpicked, the menopause in the workplace training provider. The accreditation recognises the organisation’s efforts to raise awareness, build understanding, and provide practical support for colleagues experiencing menopause.
Churchill Group was assessed independently across five key areas: culture, policies and processes, training, engagement and workplace environment. The accreditation reflects Churchill Group’s progress over 18 months to build a workplace where conversations about menopause feel normal, and colleagues feel confident seeking help when they need it.
This included training 21 Menopause Advocates from across the business and delivering 53 awareness sessions, reaching more than 640 colleagues. Its HR and Employee Relations teams and Mental Health First Aiders have also received specialist training, helping them build the knowledge and confidence to support colleagues and managers.
The independent assessment panel recognised the scale and complexity of delivering menopause support across a workforce of around 19,000 colleagues working at more than 11,000 locations, and praised Churchill Group for practical steps taken to support frontline colleagues across client sites. It also highlighted the authentic culture underpinning its menopause programme and its Menopause Advocate Network, which plays a key role in driving conversations and connecting colleagues with support.
Lynzie Kane, Wellbeing, Diversity & Inclusion Manager at Churchill Group, said: “Achieving Menopause Friendly Workplace Accreditation is something I’m incredibly proud of because it reflects the kind of organisation we’re striving to be. We want people to feel informed, supported and able to thrive at every stage of their career. Menopause can be an isolating experience, but nobody should feel they have to navigate it alone. This accreditation recognises the progress we’ve made, and I’m especially grateful to our Menopause Advocates and colleagues across the business whose passion and commitment have helped make it possible.”
