The $26.6 Billion Problem
No One’s Solving

Menopause costs U.S. employers $26.6 billion annually in lost productivity and medical expenses — and that’s a conservative estimate that doesn’t include reduced hours, early retirement, or career changes.

Your most experienced women — the ones with 15, 20, 25 years of institutional knowledge — are struggling in silence. Most workplace solutions are incomplete, generic, or don’t exist at all.
