About this listen
From mining and engineering to tech and media, can employers in fast-changing industries grappling with both global and local challenges really function as family-friendly workplaces?
In a special podcast series produced by Family Friendly Workplaces and Women’s Agenda, we will step into different sectors in Australia to spotlight the challenges working parents face while also speaking to employers carving out new ways of working.
These employers are helping to design a blueprint for workplaces that will enable more workers to thrive, no matter what their caring responsibilities are at home.
In this week’s episode, Women’s Agenda founding editor Angela Priestley takes a closer look at the mining and energy industry.
Horror stories around sexual harassment, bullying and misconduct have emerged from the sector in recent years, even prompting a government inquiry in Western Australia.
At the same time, the industry is grappling with talent shortages, with its male-dominated teams scattered out to some of the most remote parts of the country and many working in fly-in-fly-out roles.
