Menstrual Leave Policy in Hotels: Examining the Influence of Menstrual Leave Policies in the Hotel Industry

Abstract

Menstrual leave as a concept offers female employees the option to take time off during their menstrual cycle without the fear of stigma, loss of income, or using up their regular sick leave. It is a recognition of the physiological differences and challenges some employees face and an attempt to address workplace equality on a deeper level. This research paper investigates the need for menstrual leave policies in hotels and their potential impact on employees and hotel operations. The researcher adopted a random sampling technique to collect needful data by providing questionnaire to hotel male and female employees. The researcher aims to identify whether hotels want such policies, the effectiveness of current policies, and the challenges that may arise from implementing menstrual leave policies. The findings suggest that there is a need for menstrual leave policies in hotels, and the implementation of such policies can have a positive impact on employee well-being and productivity. However, there are also challenges associated with implementing such policies, including potential discrimination against women and the need for clear guidelines and communication. Overall, this research paper provides valuable insights into the need for menstrual leave policies in hotels and their potential impact on employees and hotel operations.
