Bank Workers Charity: Menstrual health and the workplace

Register to attend

Event details

Periods are a natural part of life for half the workforce, yet menstrual health remains surrounded by stigma, shame, and silence.

We've teamed up with the Bank Workers Charity explore how menstrual health impacts physical, mental, and financial wellbeing and highlights why it’s a critical workplace issue. We’ll discuss ‘menstrual concealment’ – a term coined by Professor Kate Seear – which highlights a troubling paradox: women are often seen as lying about menstrual health issues to avoid work, yet in reality, they’re hiding their challenges or struggling just to remain there.

We’ll also look at practical steps workplaces can take to foster a culture of openness, support, and inclusion – improving wellbeing for everyone.
