    SHOULD WOMEN BE

    ALLOWED LEAVE DURING

    Cultural Changes
    Taboo Earlier Awareness Now

    • Earlier women, generally, stayed back to take care of the household.


    • Even those who worked in then industries generally played the role of the second fiddle.
    • With the advent of the 21st century and uprising of the concepts such as equality and
    gender rights, more and more women are encouraged to go out and work.
    • So its now high time to make work places more inclusive of women and their needs.
    • Keeping the above in mind we strongly believe that women should be granted menstrual
    leave.
    Changes in workforce planning
    • Granting menstrual leave changes the dynamics of the work place.
    • There could be problems with regard to the meeting of deadlines or completion of
    a task.
    • Either the task can be allocated to some other employee or the concerned lady
    may choose to work later if the deadline permits.
    • Work from home is always an option.
    • This initiative will ensure that women can take a day (or two) off and comeback
    with a fresh mind to contribute to better productivity
    Behavioural Aspects
    Women are biologically different

    • Mensuration is not a luxury! Women pass through a period of extreme discomfort


    of which men have no idea.
    • So we don’t think men should have any problem with women taking a leave during
    menstruation.
    • But there’s a downside to this initiative. Women may even take advantage of this
    situation and misuse the leave granted to them.
    • Some men may not necessarily approve of this initiative which may lead to an
    unpleasant work environment.
    Financial Implications
    • There will be financial implications while implementing this change. E.g. change in
    workforce allocation, unable to meet the deadline, etc.
    • Changes may be made to the teams in terms of work allocation, some other
    employee would have to cover up.
    • Unavailability of extra resources may lead to failure in meeting the deadlines.
    • However, the managers or the leaders should plan the tasks allocation properly so
    that if a female employee is on leave it has minimum effect on the productivity of
    the team.
    • This initiative may lead to increase in costs but this will definitely lead to women
    having a better frame of mind, which will lead to better productivity.
    Developing high performance work-environment

    • Consideration and fulfilment of women’s need will definitely lead to better job
    satisfaction.
    • This would create a sense of inclusiveness among women.
    • It will lead to enhanced productivity.
