We’re thrilled to share that UNICORN has been named a finalist in Work Design Magazine’s 2025 Next Work Environment Competition. This prestigious recognition celebrates organizations redefining the workplace through innovation, design, and a focus on people.
For us, it reinforces something we’ve believed from day one: in-stall period care is a cornerstone of the future workplace. It’s not just about hygiene or convenience — it’s about building spaces that reflect the real needs of employees and signal care, equity, and inclusion at every level.
Why This Matters
Work Design Magazine’s competition brings together some of the biggest names in architecture, design, and corporate real estate — firms and leaders shaping the environments where millions of people spend their days. To stand alongside these innovators is validation that UNICORN’s mission belongs in the conversation about the future of work.
Period care is no longer being treated as an afterthought or “nice to have.” Recognition at this level signals a shift in how workplace essentials are defined — one that includes dignity and wellness as part of the design blueprint.
UNICORN’s Role in Workplace Design

The Importance of Period Care
Incorporating period care into workplace design is essential. It shows that organizations value their employees' health and comfort. This initiative promotes a culture of inclusivity and respect. When employees feel cared for, they are more likely to be engaged and productive.
Benefits of Period Care in the Workplace
Enhances Employee Wellbeing
Providing period care products ensures that employees have access to necessary hygiene items. This simple act can significantly improve their comfort and confidence at work.
Promotes Inclusivity
Recognizing the needs of all employees, including those who menstruate, fosters a more inclusive workplace. It sends a message that everyone’s needs are acknowledged and met.
Boosts Productivity
When employees have access to period care, they can focus on their work without the distraction of discomfort or anxiety about their needs being met.
Improves Retention
Companies that prioritize employee wellbeing are more likely to retain talent. Providing essential services like period care can be a deciding factor for many employees.
Looking Ahead
Being named a finalist is not just recognition — it’s momentum. It helps us spark more conversations with designers, facility leaders, and HR executives who are rethinking the employee experience from the ground up.
We’re honored to be part of this movement and excited to continue proving that small changes — like putting period care in every stall — can drive big impact for workplaces everywhere.
Conclusion
In conclusion, UNICORN's recognition in the Work Design Magazine’s competition highlights the importance of period care in the workplace. As we move forward, we remain committed to our mission of creating inclusive and supportive environments for all employees. By prioritizing period care, we are not just enhancing workplace design; we are shaping the future of work itself.
Let’s continue to advocate for changes that matter. Together, we can create workplaces that truly reflect the needs of every employee.
