The workplace revolution has transformed Eliza's life

Long Distance Call

In light of this week's Jobs & Skills Summit in Canberra, Eliza and Geraldine discuss the revolution that's occurring in the workplace.

For Geraldine, COVID offered a professional reckoning. She's bounded back into the office, convinced of its power to assist creativity and collaborative work.

For Eliza - still a big fan of the office - the workplace revolution has been transformative. The biggest change has been her ability to choose how to work: some days it's 9 or so hours with her colleagues, sometimes 5, sometimes WFH.

With that choice and flexibility has come freedoms. But she's also mulling over how to best structure the work week.

Also this week, new thinking about managing lower back pain.

The power of Elizabeth Strout's novels.

And Eliza's upcoming trip to Israel and the Palestinian Territories with her charity Project Rozana.

We're taking a little break and will be back in 3 weeks. Thanks for listening!
