One in four. That’s the number of executive women who have stepped back from, or entirely passed up, a leadership opportunity due to menopausal symptoms. For too long, women’s health in the workplace has been treated as a personal wellness issue. It isn't. It is an organizational and economic reality that directly impacts leadership performance, ambition, and career sustainability. When organizations fail to support women through these transitions, leadership pipelines weaken and companies risk losing senior executives when their experience matters most. Data from our partner, Alloy Health, highlights a critical gap: - 73% of working women ages 40–60 report symptoms from hormonal transitions. - Nearly 6 in 10 say these symptoms negatively affect their work performance. These health pressures peak at the exact moment women assume their highest-stakes professional responsibilities. Women shouldn’t have to choose between their health and their ambition. Supporting long-term career longevity is a business imperative, not a wellness initiative. That is why Chief is partnering with Alloy Health. Together, we are reframing this conversation through a pragmatic leadership lens. Through targeted education, experiences, and expert-led discussions, we will ensure the next generation of women leaders can thrive throughout their entire careers. Next week, Alloy Co-Founder and Co-CEO Anne Fulenwider and Chief CEO Alison Moore will bring that conversation to Chief's NYC Clubhouse, kicking off the first of five gatherings for women across the country this year. We welcome Chief members to bring a +1 as we tackle the connection between health, performance, and leadership longevity. 👉 Members, RSVP in the Chief app to secure your spot.
