Becoming a Period Positive Workplace is good for business.

Supportive workplaces that recognize menstrual needs can boost wellbeing and productivity while demonstrating commitment to a more inclusive world.

Workplaces that provide period products report reduced absenteeism, increased productivity, and higher collaboration from employees who menstruate. Companies that invest in menstrual health management see benefits worth more than double the cost because of decreased absenteeism and higher retention.

Addressing basic menstrual needs is one way organizations can commit to gender equality and build inclusive spaces. Becoming a Period Positive Workplace empowers organizations to support the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), including Good Health and Well-Being, Gender Equality, Clean Water and Sanitation and Decent Work and Economic Growth.

  • Hospitality

    Providing period products and restroom facilities is a tangible way to show that your business has your employees’ and customers’ needs at heart.

  • Advocacy

    Providing period products is the first step to leading community conversations about menstruation, period poverty, and gender equality everywhere.

  • Equity

    Menstruation is a natural process and a simple fact of life. Meeting this need ensures your employees can thrive at work every day of the month.
