Alea x LG2: Elevating Menstrual Health in Workplaces

In an era where workplace wellness initiatives are no longer a luxury but a necessity, conversations around previously overlooked topics like menstrual health are stepping into the limelight. Alea, a leader in sustainable menstrual care, and LG2, a forward-thinking employer, recently teamed up to host an inspiring lunch-and-learn session aimed at addressing menstruation in the workplace. This partnership underscores the importance of inclusivity and well-being as pillars of modern workplace ethics.

Breaking the Silence: Menstrual Health at Work

For decades, menstrual health was shrouded in stigma, limiting open conversations even in progressive work environments. However, the experience of menstruation impacts millions daily and intersects directly with workplace productivity and comfort. Alea and LG2’s collaboration directly tackled this silence, hosting an event centered on the theme of accessibility, education, endometriosis and normalization of menstruation in office settings.

The lunch-and-learn invited LG2 employees to openly discuss barriers to menstrual equity at work and practical solutions for fostering inclusivity. With a spotlight on destigmatization, the session emphasized the critical importance of creating workplaces where all employees feel supported, both physically and emotionally.

Highlights From the Alea x LG2 lunch-and-learn

Here are the event’s key takeaways and moments:

• Knowledge Sharing: Alea’s team shared insights on the environmental impact of traditional menstrual products, educating attendees about the advantages of switching to organic cotton, biodegradable options like Alea tampons and pads. These products align with responsible corporate values while catering to employee wellness.
• Inclusivity and Accessibility: LG2’s leadership announced the availability of free Alea menstrual products, such as pads bundles and cotton tampons, in all the company's bathrooms. This step, while simple, sends a powerful message about inclusivity and destigmatization.
• Interactive Q&A: Employees engaged in discussions about menstrual pain, cycle irregularities, and how office culture can adapt to support menstruators better. This segment highlighted that by addressing these needs directly, organizations can improve workplace loyalty and productivity.

These moments not only reinforced LG2’s reputation as a compassionate employer but also positioned Alea as an essential ally for companies looking to prioritize comprehensive employee care.

Why Menstrual Health Matters for Workplace Wellness

Companies prioritizing menstrual health are more likely to retain top talent and enhance overall employee satisfaction. Research suggests that inclusive policies addressing menstruation improve team dynamics and create healthier, more productive company cultures.
