Biography

Kathleen Riach is Professor of Organisation Studies at University of Glasgow Adam Smith Business School and visiting professor at the Monash Centre for Health Research and Implementation in Australia.

For the past 20 years, her research explores the lived experience of working across the life course with a particular focus on ageing as an organising and organised phenomenon and how women navigate different forms of inequality during their careers.  

Kat’s work of menopause at work is globally recognised. In 2019, she launched MIPO, one of the world’s first online free resources to help manager support menopause in thee workplace, that has since been accessed over 1500 in 50 countries. She has since has worked with a variety of public, private and national governments to introduce their menopause policies, including leading on research that resulted in national guidelines for NHS Scotland employees. In 2024, Kat became chair for the forthcoming ISO standard on Menopause, Menstruation and Menstrual Health in the Workplace, having previously been on the advisory board for the BSI guidelines on the same title.  

Her pioneering work on age-based gendered inequality led to becoming a UK delegate for the G20 engagement group for gender equality, the W20. In 2024, she was named AACSB’s influential leader of the year and was a finalist of the Herald Higher Education Awards, as well as being awarded SIE’s Imaginative Educator of the year award in 2020.
