Perimenopause and Menopause Workshops for Employers
✔️ Science-Backed
✔️ Results-Driven
✔️ Designed for the Modern Workplace
Perimenopause and menopause are workforce issues—impacting performance, productivity, and retention across industries. Yet, these critical life stages remain under-discussed and under-supported in most professional environments.
The Pause Technologies is addressing this gap with fully customizable, science-based perimenopause workshops, menopause workshops, and women’s health workshops—offered both onsite and virtually. Each workshop is co-led by two recognized experts at the intersection of medicine, leadership, and innovation:
Susan Sly
– CEO and Founder of The Pause Technologies, MIT Sloan graduate, award-winning entrepreneur, and professional speaker
Dr. Mia Chorney,
DNP, FNPBC, MSCP
– board-certified menopause specialist, cardiology and genomics expert
Why This Conversation Belongs in Every Workplace
Women aged 45 and older are one of the fastest-growing segments of the workforce. According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, women aged 55+ are projected to represent over 25% of the female labor force by 2028, a significant rise from previous decades. Labor participation among women aged 45–64 continues to grow as more women remain in or return to work later in life.
And yet, the physical and cognitive symptoms of perimenopause and menopause are frequently ignored or misunderstood—despite the real business impact:
