- Researcher Zoe Shaughnessy is running fashion-psychology research (with Henpicked's Menopause Friendly membership) on how workplace uniforms, dress codes and appearance expectations interact with menopausal experiences - physical comfort, identity, performance, inclusion and psychological wellbeing.
- The research is recruiting employed people experiencing perimenopause, menopause or post-menopause symptoms, including those in leadership.
- HR teams reviewing dress codes and uniform policies may need to consider layering flexibility and fabric choices as part of menopause support.
