Developing a Menopause Action Plan Online Training

Workshop Leader

Deborah Garlick is the Founder and CEO of Henpicked, a global leader in supporting employers to take practical, meaningful action on women’s health at work.

For over a decade, Deborah and her expert team have worked alongside employers to turn good intentions into lasting change. Together, they have supported thousands of employers – from global brands to public sector bodies and SMEs – to create more inclusive, supportive workplaces.
Henpicked’s approach is built on evidence, experience and what works in practice. This has led to the development of the Menopause Friendly Accreditation and Menstruation Friendly Accreditation, the only independently assessed standards of their kind, recognising employers who are delivering measurable, meaningful change.

Deborah and her team are also proud to support the wider landscape of progress, contributing to guidance such as BS 30416 and championing excellence through industry awards that celebrate employers leading the way in menopause in the workplace and beyond. She is also the author of Menopause: The Change for the Better, reflecting her passion for breaking stigma and helping people feel informed, confident and supported.

At the heart of Deborah’s work is a clear focus: helping organisations move beyond awareness to take confident, informed action that improves working lives.
