Company to give women 'period leave' to make them more productive

 

A UK company is set to create a 'period policy' to give long-suffering women time off work during their monthly cycle.
The new initiative hopes to tap into female staff's "natural rhythms" in order to create a happier and more productive work environment - and it could be a UK first.

Periods are still often considered a taboo, despite affecting half the population, and women can feel embarrassed to admit they are in pain .

Company director Bex Baxter, who employs 31 staff - seven male - at the social community group Coexist, wants to change the stigma around 'women's issues'.
Bex, 40, said: "I have managed many female members of staff over the years and I have seen women at work who are bent over double because of the pain caused by their periods.
"Despite this, they feel they cannot go home because they do not class themselves as unwell.
"And this is . At Coexist we are very understanding. If someone is in pain - no matter what kind - they are encouraged to go home. "But, for us, we wanted a policy in place which recognises and allows women to take time for their body's natural cycle without putting this under the label of illness."
