Chapter 4

How to Support Menstruating Women in Workplaces

The closing chapter turns to practical steps employers can take. It starts with menstrual products, explaining why providing them free or at a discount helps, given how essential and costly they are. It then recommends workshops on menstrual health that cover common symptoms, empathy, coping strategies and available resources, and that include management and people of all genders. Flexibility for those with severe symptoms, such as adjusted hours or remote work, is another measure discussed. The chapter also stresses the value of open conversations that let people raise period health issues without fear of stigma, and ends by drawing these strands together for a more inclusive workplace.
