"There shouldn’t be any shame or stigma attached to applying for a period leave. You should feel free to tell people on internal groups, or emails that you are on your period leave for the day," he added, and said if anyone faces any harassment or comments from coworkers about taking period leave they can report it to a hotline email.In this file photo, a Zomato logo seen displayed on a smartphone.
Goyal asked that female employees not abuse these days off and only use them for their intended purpose."This is a part of life, and while we don’t fully understand what women go through, we need to trust them when they say they need to rest this out," he wrote."I know that menstrual cramps are very painful for a lot of women -- and we have to support them through it if we want to build a truly collaborative culture at Zomato.
The researchers noted that the language used in menstrual leave policies, in order for them to be effective, must normalize discussion of menstruation and not perpetuate"patriarchal misconceptions about menstruation." Finally, they say that in order for period leave policies to be fully beneficial, attitudes and stigma surrounding menstruation must change.
