Work-life flexibility policies
Having the ability to modify your work patterns according to your individual circumstances and goals is becoming ever more important to so many people.
The pandemic has certainly changed the way we work and live, but how can we adapt to these changes and what are the best practices and strategies for managing your work-life overlaps and creating a supportive work culture?
In this latest podcast, host Thomas Felix Creighton chats to Dr Ellen Ernst Kossek, a leading U.S. social scientist and thought leader on work-family and employment issues, and the Basil S. Turner Distinguished Professor of Management at Purdue University Daniels School of Business.
The episode is full of insights and wisdom from Dr Kossek, as they share their vision for the future of work, where employers and employees can embrace work-life flexibility as a key component of talent management and competitive advantage.
They also address the challenges and barriers that you may face when pursuing work-life flexibility, such as blurred boundaries, conflicts, and inequalities, and how to overcome them.

Are You In?
‘Are you in?’ was sparked by a recognition that real change can only happen when we join up and commit to working together. So initiated by Emerald Publishing, but only as a starting point, the idea of ‘Are you in?’ was born.
We worked with a team of eight thought leaders from our Impact Advisory Board and our Engage network of 2,000 academics worldwide to agree what change is needed to advance the impact of research on society.
Collectively, we decided on six paths to real change: thinking differently, being innovative, co-creating, celebrating success, being an inclusive voice and joining up.
You can find out more about this initiative, including details on how to join over 350 signatories, here https://areyouinforchange.com/
