This has yes, Yes and YES written all over it! If we are to succeed in keeping pace with these changes, Australia must engage in a discussion about the central role of flexibility and a re-imagining of the qualities of leadership and management. ... In thinking about a future of work that is productive, I can only think that our focus must shift to designing jobs, workflows and careers that fully encompass flexible working. Perhaps the time has come to be truly bold. In committing to real work flexibility, is it time to change the language and remove all gender nuances? Is it time to review wage setting and pay scales to remove differentiation between full and part-time workers? And not talk about full or part-time work? Could we design performance evaluation and development criteria that are gender neutral and do not disadvantage those working flexibly? Could we describe every role as flexible? Could our workplaces no longer talk about maternity or parental leave, but family carer leave instead? theaustralian.au/business/powering-australia/time-to-be-bold-on-gender/story-fnnnpqpy-1227128596635
