Today we're diving into an important yet often overlooked topic - menstrual cycle awareness in the workplace. My guest is Lizzy Kurtzer, a menstrual cycle coach who works with businesses to create more inclusive policies and cultures around menstruation.

We discuss the importance of education for all genders, appointing menstrual champions, and ensuring period product access. Lizzy also provides tips for managers looking to start the conversation and suggestions for supportive policies beyond just menstrual leave. Whether you menstruate or not, this interview offers actionable insights for cultivating a period-positive environment where all employees can thrive.

Key takeaways

• Providing ongoing education and training for all employees about menstrual cycles to increase understanding and reduce stigma
• Appointing a "menstrual cycle champion" that staff can confidentially approach for support or guidance
• Ensuring access to period products in bathrooms to give people dignity and accessibility
• Exploring flexible working policies and well-being days that could complement a potential menstrual leave policy
• The importance of menstrual cycle awareness - knowing where you are in your cycle and what your needs may be to better support yourself and understand fluctuations
