Fast Track has implemented a paid menstrual leave policy across its offices in Malta, Sweden, Spain and the US.
The policy addresses menstrual and menopause-related health challenges that have traditionally been overlooked in professional environments.
The initiative forms part of Fast Track’s broader employee well-being efforts, which include various support programs such as the female mentorship pilot with Signe and an internal female-only ESG group.
The company has also stated plans to launch additional workplace wellbeing programs throughout 2025.
Commenting on the development, Jenny Arnell, Chief People Officer at Fast Track, stated: “How we feel impacts us at work, influences our working environment and affects our colleagues.
Good to know: The initiative aligns with broader global conversations on reproductive health in the workplace, with Spain becoming the first European country to implement Menstrual Leave in 2023
“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.”
Well-being & Female Empowerment Coach Ellinor Otter added: “Menstrual health is often overlooked in professional spaces, even though it impacts millions of women daily.
“A policy like Menstrual Leave is a simple yet powerful way to affirm that employees are valued, that their needs are acknowledged and that their health is a priority. It empowers women to listen to their bodies without shame or fear for simply being women, creating a culture of understanding and support.”
