Menstrual Health in the Charity and Third Sector

Menstrual Health in the Charity and Third Sector

People are at the heart of every charity and third-sector organisation. Supporting employee wellbeing is essential not only for individuals, but also for delivering services, sustaining impact and retaining experienced and committed staff.

Menstrual health can affect wellbeing, confidence, concentration, attendance and performance at work. Yet many managers and organisations feel unsure about how to approach conversations or provide appropriate support.

This practical two-hour online workshop is designed specifically for leaders, managers, HR professionals, wellbeing leads and trustees working within charities, voluntary organisations and the wider third sector.

Led by Jenny Bowers, Founder Director of Purplemoon, the session builds understanding of menstrual health and explores practical ways organisations can create supportive, inclusive workplaces where people feel able to thrive.

During the workshop, you will:

• Increase your understanding of menstrual health and common menstrual health conditions.
• Explore how symptoms can affect wellbeing, confidence and work performance.
• Build confidence in having supportive and professional conversations.
• Consider practical and proportionate workplace adjustments.
• Understand the role of leaders and managers in creating an inclusive workplace culture.
• Explore how greater awareness can support wellbeing, inclusion and staff retention.
• Access reliable information, guidance and support resources.

For organisations that rely on the skills, experience and dedication of their people, creating supportive workplace cultures can help employees feel valued, understood and able to perform at their best.

By the end of the session, you will have increased understanding, practical tools and greater confidence to support colleagues experiencing menstrual health challenges.

Suitable for: Charity leaders, CEOs, managers, HR professionals, wellbeing leads, trustees and anyone with responsibility for people, wellbeing or workplace culture.
