ACTivate - Why Dr Ellen Joan Ford is on a mission to change the 9-5 - a revolution for parents, workplaces and the world ( 0:28:7)
Episode Information
Our current system is a mismatch in schedules and a mismatch with what makes a healthy human. Let's change it together - because our wellbeing depends on it. Catherine celebrates International Women's Day by speaking with Dr Ellen Joan Ford, military veteran, esteemed academic, Kiwibank local hero of the year for 2023 and author of #WorkSchoolHours - a Revolution for Parents, Workplaces and the World. And no, this is definitely NOT about work less for a pay cut! Ellen advocates for a set of principles not dogmatic rules; outputs not hours, flexibility and autonomy, and above all - value people and what they care about outside of work so they can thrive. Ellen is terrifyingly ambitious about changing the working world for the better, starting with parents.
