SPRING 2027 / ZÜRICH
FESTIVAL
Work. Money. Energy. Purpose.
A day to explore the questions that matter now — and what could come next.
SOMEWHERE AROUND MIDLIFE, THE CAREER GAME OFTEN STARTS TO SHIFT.
Finding a new role can get harder. Progression can stall. Ageism is real. Our energy might change. Priorities shift. Retirement comes into view. And many of us start asking different questions about work, money, purpose — and how we want to earn, contribute and live in the years ahead.

THE REALITY
PLENTY TO CONTRIBUTE. TOO MUCH POTENTIAL STILL UNTAPPED.
50%
of non-working women 50+ would consider returning to work if they had more flexibility in hours or workload.*
HIGHLY MOTIVATED. YET UNDERUSED.
Women 50+ show particularly high willingness to perform — yet much of their potential remains unused.*
WHAT WOULD HELP
Flexible work, age-neutral recruitment and greater recognition of non-linear careers could unlock significantly more participation.*

The world of work may be slow to change.
We don't have to wait for it.
No, our doors are not closed after 50, 60 or even 70; in many ways they are more open than ever.
But making the most of what’s ahead often means finding new ways and different doors.
A NEW ERA
HOW DO YOU WANT TO WORK, EARN & CONTRIBUTE IN YOUR SECOND HALF?
Continue. Change direction. Start something of your own. Work less. Work differently. Or step away altogether. The point is having the clarity, options and support to shape what works for you. That's why SheWorks50+ exists.
