Women in HealthTech Breakfast - Menopause, Perimenopause and Andropause (Manopause) in the Workplace
Midlife health is increasingly intersecting with peak career stages, yet menopause remains one of the least discussed factors impacting workforce performance, confidence and retention. This Women in Health Tech breakfast panel brings together clinical, workplace and lived experience perspectives to explore how menopause and perimenopause are shaping the modern workforce. Grounded in emerging New Zealand evidence, including insights from The Silent Transition, the discussion will focus on what this means for leaders, teams and organisations, and where practical support and awareness can make a meaningful difference. This session is designed to move beyond awareness, offering a balanced and practical conversation for those leading, working within, and supporting high-performing teams.
