Transforming menopause support in the workplace: Medigold Health partners with Adora
Menopause is a natural stage of life, yet for many people it remains one of the most misunderstood and under-supported health transitions – particularly in the workplace. Physical and emotional symptoms such as hot flushes, fatigue, disrupted sleep, anxiety, and brain fog can make day-to-day work much harder. Without the right support, experienced and talented employees may feel undervalued, isolated, or even forced to step back from their careers.
At Medigold Health, we believe that workplace health support should be inclusive, proactive, and practical. That’s why we’re delighted to announce our partnership with Adora, a clinically backed digital menopause support platform that helps employees manage this life stage with confidence.
Why is workplace menopause support so important?
Recent UK research shows the significant impact menopause can have on employees:
- 73% of employees aged 40–60 have experienced menopause-related symptoms, and 67% say these symptoms negatively affected their work.
- 53% have at times been unable to go into work because of symptoms.
- 27% report that menopause has impacted their career progression, with 1 in 10 leaving their roles due to symptoms.
- Only around a quarter of organisations currently have a menopause policy or support measures in place, leaving many without structured help. (CIPD)
These figures make it clear: menopause isn’t just a health issue – it’s an important workplace issue. With people working later in life and careers often extending through “midlife,” supportive policies are no longer a nice-to-have – they’re essential if you want your workforce to thrive.
New menopause legislation
In fact, with new menopause workplace legislation coming into effect in April 2027, employers with 250+ employees will have a legal responsibility to provide appropriate support, making proactive policies and practical guidance more important than ever. This change formally recognises menopause as a workplace issue, requiring employers to put clear policies, reasonable adjustments, and manager training in place. Taking action early will not only support compliance but also help retain talent, reduce absence, and create a more inclusive and supportive working environment.
How Adora enhances our menopause support offering
We partnered with Adora because it delivers practical, personalised support that employees can access easily, anytime and anywhere.
As the only menopause app that is an Approved Class 1 Medical Device, Adora meets rigorous safety and quality standards. It combines expert clinical guidance with digital tools, helping users understand and manage their menopause journey effectively.
Key features include:
- Personalised support: Adora creates a tailored menopause plan based on individual symptoms and experiences. Interactive chat and personal assessments provide actionable strategies that fit employees’ lifestyles.
- Symptom tracking and management: Users can log symptoms over time, helping identify trends and effective management strategies – from lifestyle adjustments to treatment options.
- Direct access to clinical expertise: Employees can consult NHS-trained gynaecologists and menopause specialists for one-to-one guidance, often faster than traditional NHS pathways.
- Evidence-based education & resources: The app combines medically approved menopause education with practical lifestyle advice – covering hot flushes, sleep, mental wellbeing, nutrition, and more – all in one accessible platform.
- Community, events & continuous learning: Live webinars, expert-led events, and community support spaces help users feel understood and supported throughout their menopause journey.
Proven workplace impact
Early evidence shows that Adora can have a measurable, positive effect on workplace wellbeing:
- 36% of users report feeling more productive
- 24% take less time off due to symptoms
- 30% feel less likely to leave their job
- 58% feel more supported by their employer
- 52% feel more confident discussing menopause with their manager
