“We stepped forward to be part of the Endometriosis Friendly Employer Scheme as part of our wider support of colleague’s menstrual health and because we deeply care about making our workplace welcoming and supportive for everyone. Endometriosis is not a widely understood condition and we believe in the importance of education and guiding our managers and team members on how to provide support for colleagues.”
