From hot flushes to cold sensitivity, environmental comfort isn’t a luxury, it’s a workplace wellbeing issue. And it’s one many don’t feel comfortable raising, even when it affects their ability to focus, engage or carry out their role.

Temperature might seem like a small detail, but getting it right can make a big difference, especially when workplaces are designed with everyone’s comfort in mind.

At Menopause Friendly, we support employers to make simple, practical changes that create more inclusive, supportive environments for everyone going through menopause.

British Airways Captain Suzanne Morgan, 57, was a trailblazer in her choice of career. One of the first women to fly with British Midland, before joining BA six years later, Suzanne has consistently championed progress in a profession traditionally dominated by men.

She became aware of the significant gap in workplace support for women experiencing menopause. With little information available and no formal resources in place, Suzanne and her colleagues felt uncertain how symptoms might affect their health, performance at work and career prospects.

By raising awareness, building peer networks and working with the business and regulators, Suzanne helped shape a comprehensive menopause support framework that improves wellbeing, retention and recruitment.
