Boosting productivity & well-being: the business case for menstrual education

A tailor-made menstrual education workshop is like providing your employees with a toolkit to enhance their productivity and well-being. Just as we invest in professional development and training, understanding the menstrual cycle empowers employees to work smarter, not harder. When individuals know how to align their energy levels, work habits, and self-care with their cycle, they can perform at their best, boosting overall productivity.

Think of it like optimising a machine—every part needs to function at its peak for the whole system to run smoothly. When employees understand their own rhythms, they can manage stress better, avoid burnout, and bring a higher level of focus and creativity to their work. For example, during the menstrual phase (often associated with lower energy), employees may benefit from flexible work schedules or a quiet environment, leading to more efficient results when they are at their most energised in other phases.

Investing in menstrual education also leads to improved employee retention. By creating an inclusive, supportive environment that acknowledges and respects the diverse needs of employees, businesses foster a culture of trust and loyalty. Employees feel valued when their well-being is prioritised, leading to increased job satisfaction and a stronger connection to the company.

Ultimately, menstrual education isn’t just about health—it’s a smart business strategy. It’s an investment in a happier, more engaged workforce, which translates directly into improved productivity, fewer sick days, and greater retention. It’s a win-win for both employees and the organisation.
