Mercury launches menstruation, menopause, and miscarriage leave policies
At Mercury, we provide unwavering support for all our people, especially our female team members, throughout every stage of life.
We have launched progressive leave policies focusing on menstruation, menopause, and miscarriage. These policies reflect our genuine commitment to understanding and addressing the unique challenges women may face during these significant phases of life. Our goal is to create an environment where conversations about these crucial topics are normalised, doing away with “silent suffering” and empowering women to thrive in the workplace, driving positive change for everyone.
“Working for a company that takes real-life experiences of women into consideration by implementing policies to benefit them in their careers makes you feel like you’re being looked after and is another step in the right direction for gender equality.” – Project Manager Monique Mentoor
By addressing these issues openly, we strive to create a supportive environment that enhances productivity and allows everyone to work comfortably. For Mercury, this represents true equity, comfort, and inclusion.
Our policies are outlined below:
- Menstruation Leave Policy: Normalising conversations around menstrual health, this policy allows employees to take time off when needed without any hesitation or discomfort.
- Menopause Support Policy: Acknowledging the unique challenges during this phase of life, this policy provides resources, understanding, and flexibility to ensure our employees feel comfortable and fully supported.
- Miscarriage Leave Policy: Understanding the emotional toll, this policy offers necessary time off and assistance to heal and recover.
Mercury’s commitment to our diverse workforce extends beyond these progressive leave policies. As Europe’s leading provider of construction solutions, we understand the invaluable contributions of women in our workforce and acknowledge the need to promote gender diversity in a traditionally male-dominated field.
We believe that empowering women in construction is not only about providing support during critical life stages but also about normalising conversations that lead to an inclusive and thriving work environment. Together, let’s continue driving positive change in our industry and giving everyone the opportunity to reach their full potential.
DIVERSITY & INCLUSION
At Mercury, our drive towards diversity & inclusion is one of the key driving factors behind our winning culture.
We have put in place a Diversity & Inclusion Policy that is driven by our Executive Management Team. Diversity & Inclusion is woven into the fabric of the vision and values of Mercury, not only through our culture, but through the entire life cycle of the employee experience.
