Cairos Strategies LLC

Cairos Strategies is a Melrose consulting firm that helps employers reduce avoidable turnover by preparing managers to support employees through menopause and midlife. It works with HR, DEI and employee resource group leaders as well as other corporate leaders, and it frames the issue as a measurable business cost rather than a wellness perk, focusing on practical workplace strategies that managers can use day to day.

Engagements follow the firm’s CAIROS Framework in three stages: a readiness assessment and strategic plan, education and communication tools for leaders, managers and employees, and measurement to reinforce lasting practices. The founder spent more than 25 years helping organizations strengthen customer relationships and retention, and executive leadership plus a personal experience showed how often workplaces lose capable people at this stage of life. Clients typically come to Cairos with burnout, absenteeism or stalled advancement among experienced staff.
