Krishna joins us to talk about how AI can help skilled people find better, more fulfilling jobs, and how it can also be used to assist companies to connect with the best talent in the market.

Today, we’re talking about menopause in the workplace. There's a huge movement toward providing support for women in the workplace who are navigating this midlife transition -- and there are lots of recent studies showing the economic cost to companies who are neglecting to do so. A recent Mayo Clinic study found that 15% of women cut back on hours or missed work entirely due to their menopause symptoms, costing them about $1.8 billion a year. My guest for this episode, Joanna Strober, is passionate about discussing menopause at work. She is Founder and CEO of Midi Health, a virtual healthcare clinic focused on women navigating menopause and perimenopause. Midi Health works with employers and benefits platforms to expand access to menopause care benefits to female employees.
