| 9:10 AM - 9:40 AM | The Business Case for Workplace Menopause Support: Why Integration Beats Innovation 9:10 AM - 9:40 AM Drawing on a synthesis of 25+ peer-reviewed articles, organizational psychologist and workplace strategist Kacy Fleming identifies the three pain points keeping employer-sponsored menopause support fragmented and underutilized: the benefits gap, the awareness trap, and the treatment wall. This keynote walks benefits leaders and coalition decision-makers through a three-part framework for addressing each pain point through the systems employers already have, often without requiring new budget lines. Attendees will leave with a practical model for integrating menopause support into existing healthcare, leadership, and formulary structures, plus a clear understanding of why integration consistently outperforms innovation in driving measurable workforce outcomes.
