Periods at Work: Why Menstrual Health is a Workplace Issue

Breaking the Stigma, Creating Support

In today’s progressive and people-focused workplaces, menstrual health can no longer be ignored. This insightful and practical session will explore why menstrual health literacy matters — not only for the wellbeing of employees but for productivity, equity, and organisational culture.

Join us as we unpack the real impact of menstruation at work, the hidden costs of stigma, and the steps workplaces can take to create inclusive, period-friendly environments for all.

In this session, we’ll cover:

• What menstrual health really means and why it belongs in workplace wellbeing

• The cost of stigma: presenteeism, absenteeism and lost productivity

• How to design period-friendly workplaces across policy, product, and people

• How leaders and colleagues can have confident, respectful conversations

• Why menstrual health is a key gender equity issue

This workshop is ideal for HR professionals, DEI leads, wellbeing champions, people managers and employees of all genders who want to drive positive change.

Let’s build a workplace where everyone can thrive.
