Supporting Your Employees: Small Steps, Big Impact
International Women’s Month and Endometriosis Awareness Month remind us of the importance of listening, understanding, and taking meaningful action.
Every workplace has the power to create an environment where employees feel comfortable, supported, and valued—especially when it comes to menstrual health. Whether it’s an office, a shop floor, a restaurant, a gym, or a factory, the way people feel at work truly matters.
By making small, thoughtful changes, businesses can foster a culture that shows they genuinely care. And the best part? A supportive workplace benefits everyone, leading to happier employees, stronger teams, and a more engaged workforce.
1. Building a Positive Employer Brand
A strong employer brand isn’t just about job perks—it’s about how people experience your workplace every day.
When employees feel heard and supported, they share that positivity with others. They become more engaged, more productive, and proud to be part of a business that prioritises their wellbeing.
Providing period-friendly initiatives sends a clear message: this is a workplace that values its people.
💡 Are period products available and easily accessible? 💡 Do your bathrooms have proper disposal solutions like Fablittlebag for bins? 💡 Is there flexibility for those managing conditions like endometriosis?
By answering ‘yes’ to these questions, businesses create a workplace that employees appreciate and want to be part of.
2. Happy Employees, Thriving Businesses
Supporting menstrual health isn’t just about comfort—it’s about creating an environment where employees can do their best work. When people feel at ease and supported, they bring their best selves to work.
🌿 Women make up nearly half of the workforce. 🌿 1 in 10 experience endometriosis, which can cause severe pain and exhaustion. 🌿 Many are hesitant to ask for support, fearing stigma or misunderstanding.
Simple changes—like providing accessible period products and fostering open conversations—can make a world of difference in helping employees feel valued and included.
3. Why Menstrual Health Matters for Business
Businesses that take a proactive approach to menstrual health see real benefits:
✅ Higher employee retention – A supportive workplace reduces turnover and fosters loyalty. ✅ Increased productivity – Employees perform better when they feel well and supported. ✅ Stronger reputation – A workplace that prioritises wellbeing attracts top talent and builds a positive brand image.
Supporting menstrual health doesn’t require a huge overhaul—just small, thoughtful steps that show employees they matter.
4. Be a Workplace That Leads With Care
The best businesses recognise that people are at the heart of everything they do. Creating a period-positive workplace isn’t about big, complicated changes—it’s about thoughtful, everyday actions that make a real impact.
💜 Providing free period products. 💜 Offering sustainable, responsible, disposal solutions like Fablittlebag, that encourage binning 💜 Encouraging open conversations and reducing stigma around menstrual health.

"I used to feel anxious about getting caught off guard at work, id be in and out of the car, to meetings and inspections, having free period products and proper disposal available If I have a 'heavy/ unexpected day" that can happen often, I feel less stressed. It's having one less thing to worry about, products, needing to plan ahead or know where a store is. Binning can have its own challenges, so the portable FLB period pouch is great, and discreet! It’s a small change that can make a big difference and opening up conversations at work too and understanding one another in the team is crucial, no one should suffer in silence when it comes to Endo@." – Sarah, Marketing Executive
