Ep131 - Balancing the Trio: Careers, Families, and Aging Parents with Poppy Griffiths

In this episode of the Well Workplaces podcast, hosted by Tom Bosna, special guest Poppy Griffiths, founder of UnlimitU, and an expert in high performance coaching, discusses the challenges faced by working parents and carers. The discussion centres on the findings of the National Working Families Survey 2024, conducted by surveying 6,000 working parents across Australia. Key topics include the persistent high stress levels among working parents, the need for more support in workplaces, gender-neutral parental leave policies, and the importance of flexible work arrangements. The episode also highlights exemplary practices from Australian companies like Multiplex and Car Sales, and advocates for systemic changes at the government level to support working parents better. ~ Resources: National Working Families Survey 2024: https://nationalworkingfamiliesreport.org/ Connect with Poppy on Linkedin: https://au.linkedin.com/in/poppy-griffiths-23b65b31 UnlimitU: https://unlimitu.com.au/ Working Parents Mini-Series (Ep51-56): https://podcasts.apple.com/au/podcast/ep051-how-to-keep-your-career-on-track-during-parenthood/id1532493952?i=1000559452417
