Menopause is a normal life event for women (trans gender and non-binary people too), and yet we very rarely talk about it, even amongst our friends and particularly not in the workplace – but why? Given that women aged over 45 comprise 17% of the Australian workforce and menopause typically occurs between the ages of 45 and 55 – you would think that conversations about such a natural event would be common place. In this podcast, Parents At Work’s Customer Experience Director, Fiona Hitchiner, interviews Thea O’Connor to learn more about menopause, some of the signs and symptoms, what we can do to prepare for this phase of life, and even find joy in it. Thea O’Connor is a senior advisor on workplace wellbeing and productivity, helping leaders, teams and individuals improve their workplace engagement and effectiveness through body intelligence and better health. She draws on 30 years experience in health promotion including in the fields of nutrition (as a dietitian), body image, sleep science and workplace health.

Improving The Quality Of Our Relationships - Balance & Wellbeing Podcast 1:01:25

4 years тому1:01:25

1:01:25

Improving the Quality of Our Relationships (and how this affects our wellbeing) Do you feel you are being yourself in all your relationships? Are there any relationships you would like to change or improve that may currently be quite negative or destructive? Does how you relate to others impact on your health and wellbeing? When we are free to be our real selves we connect more deeply with others and we enjoy life more - we feel more fulfilled in our jobs and we are naturally enriching as parents. Life doesn't feel hard and problems don͛t feel like big issues to tackle. Why isn͛t this a reality for most of us, most of the time? It comes down to our relationships. We have a relationship with every aspect of our life. We say, this is what my relationship is with my partner, my kids, my clothes, my dog, nature, our house– every aspect in life. Therefore, doesn't it make sense to stop and reflect on the quality of our relationships if, indeed, everything is about relationships? Yet most of us are not approaching life this way. This month Katie and Sam look at how we measure our relationships, whether we are holding back in any areas or have different versions of ourselves with different people? What happens if we are and what impact does this have on our overall health and wellbeing? Most importantly, how can we work with any issues that arise so that we not only have fulfilling relationships with others but also ourselves.…

Stay At Home Dads: What's the Reality? An Interview with Rory Brown - Father Hood Podcast Episode 7 27:14

4 years тому27:14

27:14

In the 1970 U.S. census, only 6 men in the whole of America identified as a stay-at-home dad, but by 2014 this number had risen to 2 million people. In this latest episode, The Father Hood team interview Rory Brown about his experience with being a stay-at-home dad in today's climate. They ask about the benefits of being a stay-at-home dad, if he has experienced any negative stigma surrounding his role, what his personal experience has been like, and what he has learned or gained from being a stay-at-home dad. Rory talks about the opportunity to spend in depth time with your children as they grow right before your eyes. He also discusses the feeling of joint success when watching his wife strive for and meet her career goals, something that would have been harder to achieve without Rory being the stay-at-home parent. Through his role, Rory has also come to appreciate and understand the difficulties involved in managing a household, something that his wife had predominantly been in charge of early in their marriage. He feels it has been a massive learning experience for both partners gaining experience in their respective family roles and also in how today's society reacts to the idea of a dad being the primary carer. Rory hopes that fathers continue to take on the role of the stay-at-home parent, that people will begin to understand the difficulties associated with the role, and that it starts to be viewed as a very accessible role for both mothers and fathers.…

Dad, You're Not A Man Island: Why Social Connection is so Important - Father Hood Podcast Episode 6 31:25

4 years тому31:25

31:25

In this episode of The Father Hood Podcast, the team interviews Tom Docking, the founder of Dads Group. They discuss the unexpected ways that being a new dad can affect you, especially your mental health, and how social connection is so important as a form of support for dads. Tom opens up about why he started the Dads Group, stating that the opportunity to talk and listen to other dads is a very restorative experience and provides the chance to heal from the challenges involved in the transition to becoming a parent. He has found that dads retain information and pick up on parenting advice more efficiently when it is in the context of a dads group and that his aim is to make all the wonderful parenting content available to dads through this medium so that it is not just sitting there "collecting dust". Tom hopes that through these dad groups that he can help encourage the perspective that fatherhood is more than just a responsibility, its an opportunity, and he believes that’s the direction that fatherhood is moving into the future.

Carers Week 2020 Focus - with Liz Callaghan 29:02

5 years тому29:02

29:02

With all the events that have transpired this year, carers deserve recognition now more than ever. In this podcast, Emma Walsh, CEO of Parents At Work, interviews CEO of Carers Australia, Liz Callaghan, to discuss both the work of Carers Australia and National Carers Week. National Carers Week aims to recognise the 2.65 million unpaid carers in Australia and the work they provide for their loved ones. It aims to raise awareness of this crucial role and the incredibly impactful service they are providing for not only those they are caring for, but the community as a whole. Ultimately, Carers Australia wants to see unpaid care recognised as a shared responsibility between family, community businesses, and government especially as the role of unpaid carers seems to be invisible to many. The lack of recognition leads to insufficient support of carers, especially during this pandemic where this already isolating role has become even more distant from society and existing support networks shutting down. To put things into perspective, the replacement value of all unpaid care this year (prior to COVID-19) is nearly 78 billion dollars - that's nearly 1.5 billion dollars per week! This Carers Week we aim to raise awareness to create more carer friendly options within employment and the general community.…

New Dad Definitions – What's Changing? Why is it Changing? - Father Hood Podcast Episode 4 23:39

5 years тому23:39

23:39

In the latest The Father Hood Podcast we talk with Donte Palmer, who describes himself as a husband, a father of three boys, and dad advocate. Donte began the movement #squatforchange after he posted a photo showing the difficulty of changing his child without a changing station, a common thing for dads due to the lack of changing stations in male restrooms. #Squatforchange has now become an established organisation with a mission to "drive initiatives that result in the installation of appropriate diaper changing stations in all designated public restrooms". Donte discusses how gender and parental roles have changed and that mothers aren't just the caretakers anymore, that "strong men with strong attitudes or strong personalities – can also be sensitive" to support and take care of their kids. He also talks about social media as a driver of change as fathers can use the platform to demonstrate them being active, speaking up as fathers, and working as a team with their partner so that both parents share responsibility and have that time for self-care.

How will work-life be re-imagined post COVID-19? Remote work is radically reshaping how we work and live. As organisations busily plan to welcome employees back to the office post COVID-19, they are fast re-imaging how and what 'working from the office' will actually mean in reality.

In this well-worth-the-time webinar Parents At Work invited a number of experts to explore exactly this - the future of workplace design and flexibility in our organisations. Our panel included: • Shiona Watson, General Manager, Human Resources at QBE Insurance. • Kristen Miller, Head of Workplace, Westpac Group. • Stephen Barrow-Yu, Executive Director, People and Change, KPMG & Director, Diversity Council of Australia. • Emma Walsh, CEO, Parents At Work To keep up to date with all our free webinars and resources for HR professionals and leaders sign up to our Supporter Newsletter visit www.parentsandcarersatwork.com.au To find out more on how to become an Employer Member contact info@parentsatwork.com.au…

Fatherhood - The Frontline of a New Manhood - Father Hood Podcast Episode 3 25:33

5 years тому25:33

25:33

In the past the ‘breadwinner’ role represented success for a lot of dads, but today things are different. Today’s dads have an opportunity to care for their families in far broader and more satisfying ways. In this podcast, The Father Hood team talk to Rob Sturrock about the changing definitions of masculinity in the modern world and how a man's approach to fatherhood is at the forefront of this societal discussion. Rob talks about how there is no one way to 'provide' for your family, contrary to long-established beliefs, and that the active participation of a father in his children's lives is not a sign of weakness or lack of success in his career. In fact, he believes that a father's ability to balance work and family in his own way is one of the most masculine things a father can do and encourages all father’s out there to find the right balance for themselves and their family. Rob's new book 'Man Raises Boy' takes a deep dive into the themes discussed in this podcast and explores a new era of fathering that balances strength and vulnerability.
