Flora Inc. Launches Menstrual Pain Experience Program for Corporations

Flora Inc. Launches Innovative Menstrual Pain Experience Program

Flora Inc., a trailblazer in femtech services, has recently announced the launch of a groundbreaking menstrual pain experience program slated to begin in June 2025. This initiative is part of their corporate health management support service, Wellflow, designed to foster an inclusive work environment for women. The program aims to provide insight into the realities of menstrual pain, which often goes overlooked in corporate settings, especially by male employees.

Understanding the Program's Purpose

Menstrual pain is a unique experience that many male employees find difficult to comprehend. Furthermore, even among women, the intensity and nature of menstrual pain can vary significantly, leading to a lack of proper understanding in the workplace. This often results in dismissive attitudes and a culture of silence, where those suffering feel pressured to endure their pain rather than seek understanding and support.

The menstrual pain experience program offers participants a chance to simulate the pain associated with menstruation through the use of a low-frequency therapy device. The goal is clear: to cultivate empathy and understanding among colleagues regarding the challenges faced by women experiencing menstrual discomfort. By partaking in this program, participants are expected to notice their prior misconceptions and learn to better respect individual experiences and differences in the workplace.

Target Audience for the Program

Flora identifies several groups that would greatly benefit from this program:

- Corporations considering training for management personnel.
- Organizations looking to improve understanding and promotion of diversity.
- Companies evaluating their health management efforts aimed at supporting women's health.

Program Structure and Activities

The program welcomes primarily non-sufferers, although those who experience menstrual pain are also encouraged to participate, making it a valuable resource for training managers. Below is an example outline of the program's structure:

1. Opening Lecture (10 minutes)
Participants will receive foundational knowledge regarding menstrual health, including its mechanisms and impacts. This segment aims to deepen personal understanding of individual experiences during menstruation, creating a base for compassion and open dialogues.

2. Menstrual Pain Simulation (30 minutes)
Participants will wear specialized equipment to experience menstrual-like pain while navigating typical work tasks such as conversations and computer work. This segment is designed to trigger awareness of how to provide support and communicate thoughtfully during such situations.

3. Empathy and Behavioral Change Workshop (10 minutes)
Through a discussion on their experiences, participants will engage in dialogue about practical supportive measures and effective communication within the workplace. Role-playing scenarios will allow participants to practice appropriate responses and support strategies.

4. Creating Psychological Safety (10 minutes)
Participants will gain actionable insights on how to foster a supportive workplace environment, even for those not directly affected. This section will provide practical tips for cultivating a dialogue-friendly company culture.

Overall, the program seeks to enhance participants’ capabilities in showing consideration, empathy, and respect for diverse experiences, contributing positively to the organization's overall psychological safety.

Looking Forward

Through this innovative program, Flora Inc. aims not only to advance corporate health management but also promote diversity and inclusion throughout companies. The overarching vision is to create a work environment where all individuals feel safe and supported while performing their duties.
