CD - Business Essentials
“Business Essentials”, mainstreams Flexible Work Practices as a vital business issue.
The interviews on the CD focus on finding and keeping the best people in a tight employment market.
Kerry Fallon Horgan of Flexibility At Work (pictured left) emphasises the importance of flexible work practices to keep your staff happy, healthy and loyal. It goes a lot further than a simple regard to the current employment legislation. Kerry outlines the bottom line benefits and the challenges that need to be addressed to create sustainable flexible workplaces.
Other interviewees include:
John Rawlinson of Talent2 discussing the challenge facing businesses and ways to attract employees to your business.
Dr Glyn Brokensha of Banks Management Group says beware the "power-pathic"
employee. Socially adept but highly manipulative, these people leave a trail of destruction behind them as they grasp their way to the top.
The "Business Essentials" CD contains 11 interviews and is a useful tool as part of a flexible workplace communication strategy.

Video - Flexibility at Work: Work/Life issues in Australian organisations today
A key training tool for your flexible workplace initiatives. The video includes training notes by flexible workplace expert, Kerry Fallon Horgan.
This video has been produced by Kerry Fallon Horgan for use in work/life training programs, workshops and seminars. The program highlights the issues facing a diverse workforce and the challenges of achieving a work/life balance in Australian workplaces today.
The work/life issues presented by the two middle managers in the video are representative of a diverse range of people working across all sectors, including the public, private and community sectors.
The business case for flexible work practices has been well documented and many organisations have excellent flexible workplace policies and procedures, but the gap between the reality and the rhetoric is significant for many Australian workers. A key to closing this gap is the facilitation of appropriate dialogue in the workplace about the many barriers to work/life balance and the strategies that can be implemented to overcome these challenges. The aim of this video is to facilitate this dialogue.
