Why It Matters.
It costs the UK economy an estimated £11 billion every year through absenteeism and presenteeism due to menstrual health and a lack of workplace support. Despite how common these issues are, they often remain hidden, misunderstood, or minimised in professional settings.
The wide-ranging impacts of menstrual health conditions and menopause can influence energy, concentration, emotions, and performance at work. Ignoring them won’t make the issue go away.
​
Creating a supportive, stigma-free culture is everyone’s responsibility. By raising awareness, implementing reasonable adjustments, and improving access to support, organisations can contribute to better health outcomes and greater work–life satisfaction.
​
​Failing to prioritise can lead to decreased productivity, increased sick leave, high staff turnover, low morale, and potential employment tribunal risk.

Calculate your ROI.
Wondering how supporting your employees translates to tangible business outcomes?
Our ROI calculator helps you see the potential financial and organisational benefits of investing in awareness, training, and counselling.
Estimated annual savings are calculated using standard UK workplace data based on an average of 9.4 sick days per employee per year, with an average cost of £547 per employee annually (according to CIPD and Simplyhealth research). Turnover savings estimated on a standard saving of £30,000 from reducing staff turnover and retaining employees. The cost of the selected support, adjusted for organisation type. The calculator assumes that providing support reduces absenteeism by 10%, and total savings are the sum of reduced absenteeism costs and turnover savings, divided by the cost of the service to give the ROI.
