PERI READY?
The Perimenopause Leadership Gap. How Smart Companies Are Closing It.
Perimenopause is one of the biggest blind spots in workplace culture. It arrives right when professionals are at the peak of their leadership, expertise, and influence. Yet, most companies ignore it—losing top talent and institutional knowledge in the process.
Here’s the reality: supporting perimenopause isn’t a HR favor. It’s smart business strategy.
The companies that get this right will lead the future of work.
“Great leaders don’t lose their edge—workplaces lose their support. That needs to stop now.”
The Challenge:
Leading Through Instability
Unlike the menstrual cycle, which follows a rhythm, perimenopause reshuffles the deck unpredictably. Energy, focus, and cognitive function fluctuate in ways that can disrupt even the most experienced professionals. For those used to operating at full throttle, this shift can feel destabilising.
But companies that build Cycle Positive® workplaces don’t see perimenopause as a liability—they see it as an inflection point for stronger, more resilient leadership.
How High-Performance Workplaces Adapt and Win
Talk About It—And Dismantle the Stigma
Perimenopause is the last workplace taboo. Professionals stay silent, fearing it will undermine their credibility. Cycle Positive® workplaces flip the script. Boardroom discussions, team-wide transparency, and executive leadership buy-in create a culture where experience isn’t erased by outdated biases.
Build Flexible Support Structures
No one should have to navigate unpredictable energy fluctuations alone. A simple Cycle Positive® buddy system allows professionals to adjust on the fly—whether it’s switching up who leads a meeting, taking a step back when needed, or building real flexibility into deadlines. These aren’t accommodations. They’re productivity enhancers.
Turn Cyclical Intelligence Into a Competitive Advantage
The highest-performing teams aren’t fueled by constant, high-intensity hustle. They work in cycles—balancing deep focus, collaboration, reflection, and recovery. When leaders understand that nobody operates at 100% every day, they build more adaptive, creative, and resilient teams.
Rewrite the Culture of Work
In a Cycle Positive® workplace, rest isn’t a weakness—it’s an investment in long-term performance. The companies leading this shift aren’t just improving well-being; they’re future-proofing leadership continuity and unlocking a new era of strategic innovation.
The companies that get this right won’t just improve retention—they’ll Shape the future of work.
