Our Partners

"At TechSwitch, we are committed to fostering a diverse and inclusive environment within the tech industry. Our partnership with Period & Pause demonstrates our commitment to addressing the often-overlooked challenges of menopause in the workplace. Many of our TechSwitchers are women returners and the expertise that Period & Pause bring to the table helps us to better support them, both during the bootcamp and during their placements with our hiring partners. By acknowledging and raising awareness about menopause, together we want to create an empowered workforce where everyone’s experiences are valued and respected”

Why Period & Pause?


2 in 10 women experience a menstrual health disorder such as ​endometriosis, polycystic ovaries syndrome, adenomyosis and fibroids. ​More than 50% of women experience debilitating peri-menopause, ​menopause & post-menopausal symptoms. The majority of these ​women’s mental health will be impacted as a subsequence of ​experiencing these menstrual health issues.


We want to help you retain valuable staff and embed an inclusive, ​friendly workplace culture that supports and nourishes staff members.


Evidence shows that many women are reducing their hours or leaving ​work altogether due to their perimenopausal and menopausal ​symptoms. Our menstrual and menopause awareness training helps ​break taboos and create transparent, healthy work environments where ​everybody can thrive.
