Together with employers, employees and trade unions, we aim to create a more period friendly work life where everybody has the same opportunities. If the work environment doesn’t take into account that people have different bodies, and hence different needs, it might have a negative impact on the individual’s work performance and well being. Issues related to the menstrual cycle and menstruating employees must not be forgotten. By working with menstrual awareness you:
Promote sound health and well-being for the employees
Contribute to an inclusive and equal climate
Strengthen the company brand and attract employees
Invest in the company’s profitability
Climb up the period ladder!
