When menopause symptoms hit, people face limited choices: push through in silence, or step back from their careers.
Without support, people take leave for symptoms that could be managed with simple workplace adjustments.
Some women reduce their hours or leave earlier than planned, losing income, superannuation, and career momentum.
Employers want to help but don't know what works. There's little robust evidence on which workplace interventions actually reduce absence.
Crest helps you understand your menopause journey. Plan Ahead helps organisations support their people. Two separate products, built for the same problem from different sides.
Your personal menopause companion. Track symptoms, understand your patterns, and get early warning signals so you can plan around difficult days instead of being blindsided by them.
Predictive capacity planning that helps employees manage their workload around symptoms, and helps organisations retain experienced people without requiring health disclosure.
Crest helps you understand your perimenopause and menopause journey by tracking symptoms, spotting patterns, and giving you early warning signals so you can plan around difficult days.
Plan Ahead gives organisations the tools to support employees through menopause: capacity planning, privacy-protected signalling, and adjustment tracking, without anyone disclosing symptoms or a diagnosis.
Plan Ahead is developed in partnership with researchers at Macquarie University, studying workplace capacity and which adjustments actually help employees maintain work ability.
The goal isn't just reducing costs. It's shifting from leave-taking and workforce exit to flexible arrangements that keep experienced people thriving. Plan Ahead empowers employees to manage their workload around their symptoms, while giving organisations the insights they need to offer meaningful support.

"I'm a scientist who spent years in Defence. When I hit perimenopause, I realised there was nothing to help me understand what was happening, or help my workplace support me. So I started building the tools I wished existed."
