On May 28, World Action Day for Women's Health and World Menstrual Hygiene Day, we at Sagitta Pharma are reaffirming our conviction that health does not stop at the products we distribute, but is also reflected in the human values we uphold every day.
Including menstrual health in daily professional life
In the world of work, the issue of menstrual precariousness is still all too often taboo. Yet menstruation affects almost half the population (and even just over half at Sagitta Pharma 😉 ), and has a direct impact on quality of life at work, concentration, well-being and sometimes even attendance at work.
Aware of this reality, for the past two years we have installed free sanitary protection dispensers in all the washrooms at our Fondettes site, for anyone who needs one.
Why is this gesture important?
Because it meets several crucial challenges:
- Combating menstrual insecurity, which is omnipresent even in the workplace.
- Promote real equality between all employees, taking physiological needs into account.
- Create a climate of trust, where everyone feels respected, without judgment or embarrassment.
- Breaking down the persistent taboos surrounding menstruation, addressing it as a normal, healthy and dignified subject.
This may seem a simple gesture. But it's necessary to ensure that menstrual health is respected within the company.
Health, inclusion, respect: our values come alive every day
At Sagitta Pharma, healthcare is our daily business. But we refuse to think of it solely as a logistics chain. For us, health is embodied in the quality of life we offer our teams, and in the attention we pay to the real needs of our employees.
Just as[Claripharm] sports classes promote well-being and solidarity, this inclusive approach ensures that every employee, whatever their status or situation, can work in dignified, healthy and respectful conditions.
It is in this spirit that we have chosen to collaborate with Laboratoire Claripharm™, a committed company that supports other structures in implementing concrete actions against menstrual precariousness.
Professional equality cannot be decreed, it has to be built. And every initiative contributes to it.
At Sagitta Pharma, we believe in global, inclusive and responsible health. And that starts with taking care of each other.
