On todays National Talk Black via NIRS – National Indigenous Radio Service we have:Josh Gilbert, UTS: University of Technology Sydney Centre for Indigenous People and Work (CIPW) Deputy Director, talking about Flexible work for Indigenous employees means more than simply logging on from home. The Centre for Indigenous People and Work (CIPW) has released new guidance to help employers create an Indigenous-inclusive flexible work culture, which extends the mainstream understanding of workplace flexibility beyond simply working from home. The Truth to Practice guide on Indigenous-Inclusive Flexible Work, to be launched later this week, challenges employers to think about culturally competent and contextual flexibility for their Indigenous workers, particularly the impact of Indigenous ways of caring for kin, community, and Country.
