Menopause symptoms can affect people differently and may change over time. Workplace factors such as high temperatures, inadequate ventilation, limited toilet access, fatigue, disrupted sleep or difficulty concentrating can make it harder for some employees to work comfortably and effectively.
A menopause wellbeing checklist form gives employees and managers a practical starting point for discussing these issues. It focuses on the employee's experience at work, the support they would find helpful and the actions that could make a difference, rather than requiring detailed medical disclosure.
The checklist prompts consideration of the working environment, physical comfort, workload, concentration, working hours and access to suitable facilities. Employees can identify relevant concerns without being expected to experience every symptom or answer every question.
Use the completed checklist to explore reasonable and proportionate measures, such as access to drinking water and toilets, improved ventilation, suitable rest breaks, temporary flexibility in working hours, changes to work allocation or adjustments to uniform requirements where practicable.
The form includes an action plan to record what has been agreed, who will take responsibility and when each action should be completed. A follow-up discussion helps establish whether the measures are effective or whether further support, an occupational health referral or a workplace risk assessment should be considered.
The checklist should be used sensitively and in line with the organisation's menopause policy, equality responsibilities and data protection arrangements. Employees should be able to discuss their needs without pressure to share personal medical details. Managers should record only information that is necessary for providing support and managing agreed actions.

It is a structured form used to identify workplace factors that may affect an employee experiencing perimenopause, menopause or post-menopause. It helps the employee and employer discuss concerns, consider support and record agreed actions. It is not a medical assessment or a statutory form.
An employee can complete it independently or with support from a manager or HR representative. The organisation should explain the purpose and confidentiality arrangements and allow the employee to raise only the concerns relevant to their circumstances. The process should be supportive rather than intrusive.
Useful topics include temperature, ventilation, access to toilets and drinking water, fatigue, sleep, concentration, workload, working hours, breaks and the availability of workplace support. The form should also record agreed actions, responsibilities and review dates without requiring unnecessary medical details.
There is no single legal duty to provide every adjustment requested because of menopause. However, employers must consider their obligations under the Equality Act 2010, including the duty to make reasonable adjustments where the legal requirements for disability apply. Employers must also meet applicable health and safety duties. ACAS guidance is available at https://www.acas.org.uk/menopause-at-work/menopause-and-the-law.
