A double-whammy gender and age bias keeps some of the workforce’s most valuable members at a disadvantage. When Meryl Rosenthal and her cofounder started a human capital and workplace transformation consultancy in 2005, she was 41 years old. Nine years later, her cofounder left for personal reasons, rendering Rosenthal—by then age 50—a so-called solopreneur. Being a woman of that age and running a business on her own certainly came with challenges. One, she says, was that younger HR and business

More than 30 women reveal how their menopause and perimenopause symptoms have impacted their professional lives—and their fixes. Kacy Fleming was presenting in a boardroom when the burning started. It began at her thighs and rose up through her torso as the legal counsel in the room pushed back on her points. She whipped off her blazer even though all she was wearing underneath was a threadbare James Perse tank top. “I felt totally unprofessional and I didn’t even care because I was so hot,” she

[Photo: lordn/Adobe Stock] For years, companies have been told to prepare for the future by chasing youth, digital fluency, and technical skills. They have been urged to bet on “high potentials” and to focus on the next generation. At the same time, they have spent years overlooking one of the most strategic talent pools already available to them: women over 50. This blind spot now looks increasingly dangerous. The future of work is

After parenting, many women encounter other invisible walls—elder care, menopause, and age bias—during the very years they should be reaching the top. My kids were finally almost grown, and I was in my late 50s, when my mother started to fall. Not once. A series of falls, each one taking a little more of her, until the word the doctors used was acute. My husband and I drove out into the high desert and hiked, because that is what we do when we can no longer think and have to anyway. Somewhere on

Science and data prove what we already know: that many of the cognitive capabilities that matter most in today’s complex, fast-moving organizations improve with age. For decades, the business world has quietly subscribed to a myth: that cognitive performance peaks early and declines steadily thereafter. It’s a belief baked into hiring practices, promotion decisions, and even redundancy strategies. Youth is equated with innovation, speed, and adaptability; age with decline, resistance, and risk.

And what you can do to curb the biological and social forces at play. After-work drinks are a nice way to bond with colleagues in your 20s and 30s. But, as people get older, different circumstances can necessitate more planning, and new avenues for making friends at work. Take Olga Valadon, 54, whose last corporate role was as chief of staff at Deloitte. “Both I and the people I became friends with faced different pressures, whether from work or family commitments,” says Valadon. “We were

The offhand joke about retirement, the overlooked promotion, the meeting where your ideas vanish . . . we all know age bias when we see it. Or do we?

After Prime Minister Mark Carney suspended trade talks with the U.S., small businesses in Ontario are bracing for the impacts of 50 per-cent tariffs. The Canadian Federation of Independent Business says revenue may be slashed in half, with some businesses wondering if they can continue operating. The impact is felt further when the product is perishable, as in the flower growing industry. One expert told us the only viable option is to ship to the States because some products can’t go to other countries. This leaves businesses our region in a state of limbo, and wondering what will happen next.
