Helen Tomlinson is the UK Governments first-ever Menopause Champion. Working alongside the Department for Work and Pensions, she helps employers develop policies that empower women experiencing menopause to stay and progress in work. Applying the principles of education and allyship creating cultural change, Helen has built a clearly defined sector based strategy to support women across all aspects of intersectionality throughout their career from a women’s health perspective. Advocating for gender equity is the common thread throughout Helen’s 30-year career in the recruitment and employability sectors. In addition to her voluntary Menopause Champion role, Helen is Head of Talent & Inclusion (UK and Ireland) for the Adecco Group, the global leader in HR solutions. Her pioneering podcast on menopause and work inspired the Adecco Group to design and implement one of the UK’s first corporate menopause policies.
