Menstrual and menopausal symptoms cause roughly 70 per cent of women to take time off work, according to a national survey published last week.
Forsa, Ireland’s second largest trade union, has called for workplaces to be more accommodating of those suffering from period or menopausal pain as a result of the survey’s findings.
“Remote working and other flexible work arrangements are key to a healthier, happier and more productive working life for many, many women,” Forsa's equality officer Ashley Connolly said in a statement.
