Hormonal and Neurodivergent Risk Under Workplace Stress

Hormonal, Neurodivergent and Gender-Diverse Risk Under Workplace Stress

Our work explicitly addresses the interaction between hormonal physiology, neurodivergence, and psychosocial stressors in workplace and operational settings, including:

  • Perimenopause, menopause, post-menopausal transition, and associated changes in stress reactivity, fatigue, cognition, and recovery.

  • Andropause and age-related hormonal change affecting concentration, emotional regulation, and injury risk.

  • Autism and ADHD, including heightened sensory load, altered stress processing, executive function fatigue, and escalation risk under pressure
     

  • The compounding effects of hormonal fluctuation on autistic and ADHD individuals during sustained cognitive or emotional load.

  • Transgender and non-binary individuals, including the physiological, thermoregulatory, and stress-response implications of hormone therapy.

  • Sex-based differences in autonomic response, recovery capacity, and threshold to overload or shutdown.

These factors materially affect decision-making, communication, fatigue tolerance, and safety outcomes under workplace stress, yet are routinely excluded from standard WHS risk assessments, training models, and audit frameworks.  

Most safety and training frameworks are built around stable physiology and predictable behaviour.

They rarely account for fluctuating hormonal states, neurodivergent stress processing, or cumulative cognitive load under pressure.

As a result, foreseeable psychosocial hazards are often identified only after incidents occur.

Our work addresses this gap by integrating biological and neurophysiological realities into risk identification and control design

Who This Work Is Designed For

Our work explicitly addresses the interaction between hormonal physiology, neurodivergence, and psychosocial stressors in workplace and operational settings, including:

  • Safety-critical and high-risk workplaces

  • Organisations with mixed-ability, ageing, or neurodivergent workforces
     

  • Sectors where fatigue, cognitive load, or emotional labour are inherent

  • Organisations subject to WHS, ISO, or external assurance scrutiny

Diverse team participating in a workplace wellbeing session

This is not a generic wellbeing provision. It addresses foreseeable risk where failure has consequences for worker safety, regulatory exposure, operational continuity, and leadership accountability.

Case Study Highlight: Closing Critical Psychosocial Risk Gaps

A 44 year history of trauma and hormonal disruption culminated in three heart attacks by age 47.

This Australian longitudinal case study demonstrates how unmanaged psychosocial hazards, endocrine vulnerability, and siloed systems created foreseeable cardiovascular harm.

Despite repeated clinical contact, risk factors were assessed in isolation. Trauma history, hormonal transition, autonomic dysfunction, and occupational stress were not integrated into a unified risk profile.

What this exposed:

  • Failure to integrate psychosocial hazards into WHS frameworks

  • Missed hormonal risk during perimenopause

  • Fragmented clinical and organisational oversight

  • Foreseeable regulatory exposure

  • Catastrophic worker safety outcomes

Our work exists to close these gaps before harm occurs.
