  • Sudima Hotels

    Sudima are leading the way in creating workplaces where every stage of life is supported, and that includes menopause! They've even implemented a Period & Menopause Policy to ensure their staff have the flexibility, resources and understanding they need during this transition. How GOOD is that?

    Sudima says, "Our commitment to Diversity, Equity and Inclusion extends beyond just policies and the workplace - it’s about action for both our staff and our guests. We provide free period products in all Sudima Hotels guest rooms, public and staff bathrooms, fostering dignity and accessibility for both our guests and staff. By supporting the Hot Mess Tour, we’re helping to start the conversation, break the stigma and champion the well-being of people experiencing menopause."
