It's #WorldMenopauseDay today and at Morgan, we feel it's a vital part of wider education to support in-work wellbeing. Menopause can mean high blood pressure and an increased risk of heart disease, heart attacks and an increased likelihood of developing diabetes. All of these factors, plus the additional extensive list of symptoms can have a significant impact on productivity and general approach to work. At Morgan we're always looking for ways we can improve our mental wellbeing support across the team, menopause issues included. Watch below for some of the symptoms that can impact the working day.
If you're struggling with your mental health, you are not alone. We want everybody to know it's okay not to be okay; and that there are places you can turn if you're starting to feel overwhelmed. Take a look at World Health Organization's helpful resources.
Building a working environment where our people feel comfortable to bring their true, authentic selves to work is an important part of creating an inclusive culture. Our Employee Resource Groups, or ERGs, are an important part of building this culture at Morgan. We have three ERGs currently up and running across the Group; Women@Morgan, PRISM and Military@Morgan. Morgan employees can join any of the ERGs, or even suggest a new group. Working together to create an inclusive culture.
At Morgan we use advanced materials to deliver on our purpose - to make the world more sustainable and improve the quality of life. Where others see just materials, we see boundless potential, and this means we are ambitious about our future. While advanced materials make up our products, people are at the heart of what we do. It takes an awesome team of scientists, application engineers, machinists, operations specialists, functional experts and manufacturing ‘heroes’ to deliver for our customers. If this is in your DNA, come show us what you’re made of. You can view all our available roles on our website.
Bereavement is the experience of losing someone important to us. It is characterised by grief, which is the process and the range of emotions we go through as we gradually adjust to the loss. Losing someone important to us can be emotionally devastating - whether that be a partner, family member, friend or pet. Bereavement affects us all differently. There is no right or wrong way to work through the emotions, but there is always someone you can talk to. Look out for any bereavement support where you live, there's often free counselling from charities, for people suffering with grief.

We want to build a positive safety culture by putting health and safety at the heart of what we do. This means we approach every moment of every working day with safety in mind. We do this by being curious not complacent, by looking out for each other and speaking up about safety issues. Our thinkSAFE commitments are a set of safety behaviours which support us in delivering a safe and healthy workplace. They are a simple set of values that all our people can make a personal commitment to follow.
Mental wellbeing is a big focus for us, applicable to all of our teams around the world. On our social channels this month we'll be talking through some key areas of support and raising awareness on just a handful of mental health issues that can impact people in the workplace.
