Fast Track has introduced paid menstrual leave across its worldwide offices.
The policy has been implemented in the igaming company’s Malta, Sweden, Spain and US workspaces.
“How we feel impacts us at work, influences our working environment and affects our colleagues. Therefore, it makes a lot of sense to me that employers should seek to spread awareness about, and normalise, talking about how menstrual and menopause-related issues might affect us directly or indirectly, to ensure that the right support is in place, and when needed, appropriate workplace adjustments can be made,” said Jenny Arnell, chief people officer at Fast Track.
“Imagine how different our work experience would be if it was as normal to talk about how our bodies and minds affect our moods and ability to work as we do when we talk about the weather?
“Our reproductive systems are as normal as the weather, yet we treat these topics as something ‘private’.”
