See what your workplace has been missing.
Periscope the Pause helps organizations understand the lived experience of perimenopause and menopause—so they can make informed decisions and take practical action.
Making the Invisible Visible
Perimenopause and menopause are often experienced in silence—not because people don’t care, but because they don’t always recognize what’s happening or know how to talk about it.
We exist to bring those lived experiences into view, helping organizations better understand the people behind the policies so they can make informed decisions, build confident leaders, and create workplaces where experienced employees can thrive.
Grounded in lived experience
Findings built from real conversations, not assumptions.
Built for organizations
Practical frameworks leaders and HR teams can act on immediately.
Rooted in the Pacific Northwest
Regional insight paired with national research standards.
We give leaders a clear line of sight past the blind spots.
Periscope the Pause was built on a simple belief: organizations can’t support what they can’t see. Our work raises the periscope on perimenopause and menopause so leaders can navigate with clarity instead of guesswork.
“A pause is not an absence of information — it’s a signal. Our job is to help organizations read it.”
What gets said in the workplace, and what’s actually being lived.
What’s typically visible to organizations
- Occasional, informal mentions among coworkers
- Generic wellness benefits that don’t quite fit
- Unexplained shifts in engagement or attrition
What our research actually finds
- Symptoms actively shaping daily performance and confidence
- Real hesitation to disclose, even to supportive managers
- A clear, addressable driver of talent loss
Principles that guide every engagement.
Empathy first
Every dataset represents real people navigating a real transition.
Rigor over assumption
Recommendations are built on evidence, not conventional wisdom.
Action over awareness
Insight only matters when it leads somewhere practical.
Four disciplines, one clear line of sight.
Each service can stand alone or work together as a full engagement — from first insight to lasting organizational change.
Insights
We surface what employees are actually experiencing — through listening sessions, surveys, and qualitative work that respects the sensitivity of the topic. The result is a clear, honest picture of what’s really happening in your organization.
Research
Custom studies designed around your workforce, industry, and culture. We combine rigorous methodology with a trauma-informed approach, producing findings your leadership can trust and act on.
Strategy
We translate insight into a practical roadmap — policy language, manager guidance, and benefit design tailored to your organization’s size, culture, and goals.
Consulting
Hands-on partnership through implementation — training managers, briefing leadership, and adjusting course as your organization puts new practices into place.
Not sure where to start?
Most engagements begin with a short conversation about what your organization is noticing — and what it might be missing.
