I recently did a fireside chat with Kate Milne about retaining talented midlife women. We explored the often-overlooked link between sleep disorders and the "great breakup" phenomenon facing women in the workforce. As the workforce ages and women's participation reaches new heights, we're seeing a worrying trend - the "great breakup." Midlife women, especially those in leadership roles, are leaving their jobs at alarming rates, seeking better work conditions and improved well-being benefits. As high as 70% of women in midlife experience serious sleep issues This can deeply impact their careers and ultimately, their decision to stay with or leave their employers. Kate shared a sobering stat: when midlife women experience sleep problems, they're 31% more likely to become unemployed. To spark conversation, we've started a short series at Chorus Sleep (YC W’21) on this topic and are pleased to share our first post: "Retaining Midlife Women: Addressing Sleep Disorders to Prevent the Great Breakup." It dives into the unique challenges faced by midlife women, how poor sleep affects the workplace, and strategies for creating a more inclusive work environment.
