Boots and No7 win menopause accolades at recent awards

No7 Beauty Company, along with Boots and Boots Opticians, has won the award for the Best Engagement Campaign at the prestigious industry-recognised Menopause Friendly Employer Awards 2022.

The inaugural Menopause Friendly Employer Awards comprised 10 categories showcasing the commitment and determination of employers and individuals to open conversations, provide support and normalise menopause in the workplace.

The Best Engagement Campaign was awarded to us for creating a campaign which has ignited changing perceptions of menopause in the workplace through creativity, making it a normal conversation.

The judges on the Menopause Friendly Independent Panel saw our entry as an outstanding campaign as it was based on listening to our team members, and taking specific actions which focused upon education, intersectionality, networking and menopause in the workplace.

“In terms of reach, evaluation and impact, the campaign produced by Boots gained incredibly positive results,” enthused one of the judges of the award, Chris Pitt, CEO of first direct.  “It is particularly heartening and inspiring to see a company which is so prepared to listen to its workforce and work with them to create an atmosphere and culture which is so open and supportive. Boots is a very worthy winner.”

This award comes hot off the heels of another recent award win at the GenM Menopause Awards, where No7 Beauty Company and Boots won the ‘Collective Power Award’. This award recognises our combined efforts to build a culture of awareness, openness and inclusivity about menopause within our business.

GenM is an organisation that believes that real change for the menopause can only happen when great forces come together. Brands and organisations, employers and employees, all with a desire to make a difference, united.  That’s why they launched their Annual Menopause Awards to honour the achievements made by their Partners (including No7 Beauty Company and Boots) in improving the menopause experience.

Alongside the joint award with Boots, No7 Beauty Company has also been awarded Highly Commended for ‘Best Menopause Signposting’, following the launch of No7’s Menopause Skincare range, and Highly Recommended for ‘Best Internal Menopause Activity to Engage Employees’ for the work that the No7 Beauty Company Global Beauty Academy has carried out on Skin School.
