Ep 13: From 9–5 to Flexible Work: How Jobs Are Changing for Modern Families
In this episode, Michael Dermansky is joined by Chris Antartis to explore the rapidly changing landscape of workplace flexibility, and why it matters now more than ever, especially for women who are still the primary caregivers in most Australian families. Chris discusses how the traditional nine-to-five structure is becoming increasingly outdated, and why more employees are prioritising flexibility that accommodates real life: school pick-ups, elder care, and the day-to-day responsibilities that come with being a parent or caregiver. They also unpack the impact of COVID-19 on work culture, and why many companies have struggled to adapt despite the clear demand for better work-life balance. Chris explains the growing shift towards four-day work weeks, flexible hours, and employer attitudes that value outcomes over time spent at a desk. If you’re interested in how the workforce in allied health is evolving, and what employers need to do to keep up, this episode is for you.
