Workplaces across North America have been implementing period positive policies in their offices and cultures for several years now. One policy that sparks a strong debate is menstrual leave, and Joeita Gupta learned how organizations handle issues of period equity in their workplaces. We hear from Sophie Zivku, Impact Manager at DIVA, about how their menstrual leave policy was implemented to destigmatize periods and create a holistic workplace for their employees. Meaghan Furlano is a qualitative sociologist, and through her research tells us about how menstrual leave policy announcements are snapshots of society’s stigma surrounding menstruation and menopause. AMI offers its employees unlimited sick time, and HR Business Partner Elysia Yardley shares how this policy eliminates employees having to disclose personal information.
