How have young people fared during the pandemic and what are the lasting legacies of COVID-19 on their future career pathways? In this episode, we’ll hear from a number of experts who’ll discuss how the pandemic has disrupted the career development of young people. 

We’ll also explore the opportunities that have arisen from graduating into a new world of work, a world in which remote and hybrid working is an established norm and many of us are reassessing how much we want work to dominate our lives. We’ll also hear from young people too about their lessons from the pandemic and how they’ve adapted to working in the era of Covid-normal. 

Host: Dr Peter Ghin

Guests: 

Prof Lucas Walsh: Professor of Education Policy and Practice, Youth Studies, Director Monash Centre for Youth Policy & Education Practice. 

Jan Owen AM: Entrepreneur, Co-Chair Learning Creates Australia, Former CEO Foundation for Young Australians

Hosted by Dr Peter Ghin, Work.Work.Work. expertly guides you through people's lived experience of the modern workplace. We explore the way work is changing, and more importantly, how people are experiencing those changes. And we're not just talking about major technological shifts, but the nitty gritty, day to day stuff that can make our work a labor of love, and sometimes not so much with the love. 

Our research collective represents disciplines as diverse as law, computer sciences, human geography, sociology, indigenous leadership and organization studies. We’re an eclectic bunch, and we hope that our diversity of thinking will bring you a different take on not only what the future of work looks like, but what it feels like to be a worker in an employment landscape that has never felt more filled with possibilities and so terrifyingly dystopian at the same time. 

In our first season, we'll be looking at the legacy effects of the pandemic on the way we work. We’ll be talking to people about how the pandemic changed the way we dressed for work, what the post pandemic landscape looks like for young people, and how COVID-19 and specifically long-COVID has shone a spotlight on a previously overlooked category of workers, that is people living and working with long term health conditions.

Young people post-pandemic - Are the kids still alright?

In this bonus edition of Work.Work.Work. we present our full interview with Catherine Hale, whose pioneering work has helped define a subset of chronic illness known as ‘energy limiting conditions’. In the interview we explore Catherine’s research in detail, unpicking the complexity of disability identity for people with chronic illness. We also explore the biases that prevent workplaces from becoming spaces of inclusivity, and the opportunity costs associated with not accessing this ‘invisible talent pool’ of workers. 

Host: Dr Peter Ghin

Guest: Catherine Hale - Head of Consulting, Astrid/Founder, Chronic Illness Inclusion

Mentioned:

2023: The state of the future of work

Astriid

Energy impairment and disability inclusion

How flexible hiring could improve business performance and living standards

The business leaders hiding chronic illness

Bonus: Full interview with Catherine Hale

Are you exhausted? Well join the club! But imagine if that exhaustion wasn’t only a by-product of living in our modern times, but a physiological response to a multi-systemic illness that severely curtails your baseline energy levels. In today’s episode, we explore the world of chronic illness, particularly conditions like long-COVID, fibromyalgia, lupus, and ME/CFS, to better understand their impact on people’s capacity to work. 

We discuss the inadequacy of terms like ‘fatigue’ or ‘exhaustion’ to describe the experience of working and living with what one of our guests has termed ‘energy limiting conditions’, and what we think about as the great unnamed energy crisis of our time. We also discuss how organisations can create inclusive workplaces that are welcoming for employees of varying capacities and abilities. 

Host: Dr Peter Ghin

Catherine Hale: Head of Consulting, Astrid/Founder, Chronic Illness Inclusion
