On Menopause at Work
Supporting menopause at work is part of a broader shift toward holistic and equitable workplace design. It acknowledges that health and life stages are not separate from professional identity, they are integral. When we proactively respond through policy, design, and culture, we enable people to thrive at every career stage.
Her Story
Universally inclusive design is both ethical and essential. Designing for all, means building inclusion into our spatial fabric - We’ve seen first-hand how simple, supportive design decisions can directly improve lives. Understanding that our colleagues are experiencing Menopause and Perimenopause as early as their 30’s and 40’s, it becomes clear that it effects the core community of many organizations. Menopause can cause a wide range of more than 100 potential symptoms from hot flashes to cognitive and mood changes, to stress and beyond, all of which can significantly impact work performance and quality of life. With increased awareness, workplaces can be designed as flexible thermal, acoustic, ergonomic environments which directly support cyclical health and wellbeing. And in alignment with our bespoke ‘Keys to Inclusive and Neurodiverse Design’ guidelines, we aim to design environments which are KIND to all.
