We're happy to announce that, effective today, we're implementing Menstrual Leave for all menstruating employees of GOG. Menstrual Leave fosters inclusiveness by accepting that there are biological differences in the workplace. By giving additional days off for those experiencing menstrual period pain, we acknowledge these symptoms are real. Breaking taboos can only be done by speaking up and making an awkward topic a normal conversation. Implementing Menstrual Leave is yet another step towards making GOG an even more inclusive workplace, and we won’t stop in our continuous efforts to learn, reflect and improve on how we can do better for all of our Team members. #GOGTeam #GOG #menstrualhealth #diversityandinclusion #inclusivity #companyculture

I wonder how this can be considered "inclusive", when it's the exact opposite of that. Inclusivity is about removing differences in how a person is treated based on factors such as gender, ethnicity or religion, not the opposite. That's called "discrimination".

Great stuff to see - and an extra nod of thanks for recognising not all those who menstruate are women! It's very refreshing to see 🙏

My respect to this company for the decision 🙏 Endometriosis and Adenomiosis can cause extreme pain. For women with these or other conditions it's not one more day, a bit of empathy makes the world a better place ☀️
