There are many ways a workplace can be adapted to be more suitable for menopausal women, some easy and some more challenging. Here are some examples:
Menopause friendly workwear
- consider sweat-wicking/breathable materials
- option of layers
- avoiding tight clothing
- extra uniforms to change into if needed
Cooling the work environment
- fans – around neck, on desk, more general
- ventilation
- air-conditioning
Easy access to cold drinking water
Easy access to washrooms and toilets with more frequent breaks if needed
Easy access to a quiet area
Flexible working – start time, hours, location
