Empowering Women Through Menopause: The Menopause Maze Expands to the US
The Menopause Maze, led by the multi-award winning CEO and female founder Fiona McKay, is thrilled to announce its expansion into the United States, with New York as our first launch city in September 2024. This pivotal move aligns seamlessly with our mission to empower women to lead without limits, ensuring their brilliance in business and the boardroom continues to shine as they navigate the complexities of menopause in leadership and business. As we embark on this journey, it's import to understand why we are expanding into the US now, the critical need for menopause support for women across America, and the vital role our coaching and consulting plays for working menopausal women.
Understanding the Need for Menopause Support in the US
Menopause is a significant phase in a woman's life, yet it often goes unrecognized in professional settings. In the United States, corporate America is finally waking up to the fact that menopause really matters. Over 1.3 million working women enter menopause each year in the US and within those millions, are legions of women in senior roles and female founders currently navigating menopause. The menopause transition can significantly impact their wellbeing and career trajectories, along with the economic risks to both women and the wider economy, women's health, longevity and the broader economic participation risks of these women leaving their roles, reducing their hours or scaling back their business growth plans and thus, curtailing their incomes and massively reducing economic prosperity and health outcomes across the US.
According to recent statistics, nearly 25 million women in the US are aged between 45 and 64, a critical time that often coincides with the onset of menopause. Furthermore, the landscape for female entrepreneurship is thriving, with American Express reporting that women are starting 1,821 net new businesses every day. This underscores the urgency for specialized menopause coaching and support tailored to women leaders across the US.
Economic Impact of Menopause Support
Supporting women through menopause is not just about individual wellbeing; it also has significant implications for the broader economy. Retaining experienced women leaders and entrepreneurs fosters innovation and drives economic growth. The figures don't lie. A McKinsey report from 2020 revealed that companies in the top quartile for gender diversity on their boards were 25% more likely to deliver above-average profitability than companies in the bottom quartile. In line with that, our menopause coaching services promote economic freedom, health, and wealth prosperity for women, workplaces, wider society and ESG returns, which ultimately contributes to positive outcomes for businesses and the economy at large. Providing tailored and personalised menopause support for women leaders is key, and we've written extensively about the menopause benefits women want and need. Discover more about the economic benefits of retaining women leaders and providing personalised benefits.
