Drawing from women’s testimonials in The Guardian and from contributions of feminist writers, Virginia Woolf, Julia Kristeva, and Margaret Mead, we start a conversation on the positive and energizing aspects of menopause in the workplace. We propose a social interpretation of menopause that challenges a pervasive perspective of medical decline: A theorization of “the dialectic of zest,” as inspired by the writings of Margaret Mead. By problematizing the experiences of women going through this transition in the workplace, we reveal how well-intentioned awareness campaigns can lead to further stigmatization. We thus encourage organizations to not only favor an approach of “education for all” but also extend their social imaginaries beyond medicalized perspectives and coping views.

Emerging technologies offer endless opportunities for businesses and consumers. However, they also pose challenges in terms of adoption and use. It is essential to find a balance between technological innovation and human interaction. Businesses also need to deal with the misuse of these technologies (e.g., misleading advertising) and ensure ethical use.
