Abstract
University of Cumbria Lecturer in HRM & OB, Maria Mouratidou, participated in this symposium (panel discussion) at AOM 2025, the 85th Annual Meeting of the Academy of Management, 25-29 July in Copenhagen, Denmark.
This symposium sheds fresh light on the challenges faced by working women, focusing on the intersection of health transitions, family dynamics, and career trajectories. Despite representing nearly half of the workforce, women’s experiences with menopause, caregiving, and dual-career dynamics remain underexplored, with significant implications for individual well-being and organizational outcomes. The first two papers address health transitions, with one exploring how online communities reduce stigma and build resilience for individuals navigating menopause, and the other examining how workplace policies influence decisions to disclose health challenges. The third paper investigates barriers faced by dual-career households, highlighting how entrenched norms hinder advancement and offering practical solutions. The final paper introduces the Parent-Child Shared Activities Scale, reframing caregiving as a source of recovery and enrichment rather than depletion. Together, these papers provide actionable strategies to address invisible challenges and advance equitable work-life integration for individuals and organizations.
