The Untold Transition: Designing Workplaces for Women’s Longevity in Leadership
Women are reaching senior leadership roles across industries, yet at the peak of their careers, many face pivotal midlife transitions such as perimenopause and menopause. These are not just personal health experiences; they are critical professional moments that affect retention, performance, morale, and long-term leadership representation.
The Women in Business Clubs of INSEAD & LBS proudly present a bold, inclusive panel: “The Untold Transition: Designing Workplaces for Women’s Longevity in Leadership.”
This conversation is designed for business leaders, HR professionals, wellness advocates, and anyone committed to shaping the future of leadership and workplace culture.
Bringing together voices from functional medicine, executive coaching, HR, and corporate well-being, the panel will uncover the hidden intersections between hormonal health and leadership journeys. Through personal stories and practical strategies, we’ll explore how modern workplaces can better support, empower, and retain top talent during one of the least understood stages of career and life.
