Course overview
Did you know nearly 60% of women feel their health concerns aren’t taken seriously at work?
Women’s health isn’t a side conversation - it’s a workplace reality that affects wellbeing, confidence, focus, and performance. Hormonal changes, reproductive health, and life-stage transitions are common, yet many organisations feel unsure how to address them effectively.
This practical CPD-accredited course turns uncertainty into confidence. It builds awareness, reduces stigma and equips managers and teams with practical knowledge to support colleagues experiencing health changes - with clarity, empathy and professionalism.
Participants gain a clear and accessible understanding of women’s health, common symptoms and their potential impact on the workplace and everyday life. Through real-life case studies, open discussion and workplace-focused guidance, they develop the skills and confidence to respond supportively, helping organisations create more inclusive, safe environments.
This isn’t about quick fixes - it’s about giving people the tools and confidence to make a meaningful, lasting difference at work and beyond.
Together, we can build a stronger, healthier, and more resilient automotive industry.
Who should attend?
The simple answer is everyone: people managers, colleagues, men and women should all attend.
Women are nearly two-thirds more likely than men to feel unsupported at work when dealing with health-related issues. 60% say their health concerns aren’t taken seriously.
Let's try to change this by equipping our women with the skills, tools and confidence to take charge of their own health. Let's ensure our people managers and colleagues have the tools to recognise when someone may be struggling and the confidence to start supportive conversations around women's health.
This course empowers organisations to respond confidently and effectively. By increasing awareness of women’s health, it helps reduce stigma and provides managers and teams with practical knowledge and tools to better support employees through various health changes. It can help retain talent, support wellbeing and improve workplace performance.
By attending, participants gain insight that supports healthier relationships at home as well as more inclusive, compassionate workplaces. Whether you’re a manager, colleague, partner, friend or family member, the knowledge and confidence gained from this course helps you offer meaningful support - and challenge stigma - in every part of life, not just at work.
Participants will gain:
✔ A clear understanding of their own wellbeing and the common health concerns that women can face across life stages
✔ Confidence to take charge of their own wellbeing and support others
✔ Practical strategies and proven tools to strengthen resilience and maximise their wellbeing, and others to help them live and work well
✔ Knowledge to recognise, support and empower women’s health - at work and beyond, including practical adjustments and inclusive practices that support women’s health at work
✔ Understanding of common but often overlooked symptoms and challenge myths and stigma surrounding women’s health.
Why book Women's Health Awareness Training
Women’s health is a workplace issue that affects employees at all levels. Hormonal changes, reproductive health experiences and life-stage transitions can significantly impact wellbeing and work performance, yet many organisations lack confidence in how to address these conversations appropriately.
Did you know?
- Women frequently experience health issues that affect work, from menstrual symptoms to menopause and reproductive health
- Most do not feel supported, taken seriously, or comfortable discussing these topics
- There’s a large gap between what employees need and what employers provide
- Lack of support translates into stress, presenteeism, absenteeism, career impact, and potential loss of valuable employees
This course helps organisations increase awareness, reduce stigma, and create a culture where health conversations are handled with sensitivity and confidence. By improving understanding, organisations can support retention, wellbeing, engagement, and inclusion, while demonstrating a clear commitment to equality and employee support.
As an industry, we all share a responsibility to:
-
Recognise the unique health challenges women face
-
Encourage open, stigma-free conversations
-
Provide practical tools and strategies that help women take control of their wellbeing
-
Build a culture where supporting one another is the norm, not the exception
- Equip colleagues and managers to spot, support, and empower women’s health - at work and beyond
- CPD accredited, providing recognised professional development that adds measurable value for employees while supporting organisational learning, engagement and performance.
Awareness is just the start. Real, lasting change happens when workplaces are equipped to have better conversations, offer the right support and create cultures where women feel genuinely valued and understood.
