Women are so consumed with regretting their work-life choices, or making other women regret their work-life choices, that they spend little time on regretting other important things.
What do you call the process by which an employer who offered flexible work arrangements to employees for years suddenly decides to retrograde flexibility? Unflexing.
When so many of us think about work-life issues the image that often comes to mind is that of a working mother. Well, 2013 will hopefully see an end to that as more and more working men start fighting for their own piece of the work-life pie.
Unfortunately, sometimes it takes a disaster to change perceptions when it comes to how workers work and what makes sense for employers.

I started my own business, natural skincare company Oleo Bodycare, at the age of 49 -- a time when most people start to look seriously at their retirement plans not becoming an entrepreneur!
It's all about getting beyond our preconceived and outdated notions of what employees want out of work-flex and giving them what they need.

This isn't the government telling people what to do, and it certainly isn't the government telling mums they're on their own in bringing up a baby. This is about supporting them through every step of the way and being the one-stop-shop for useful suggestions on how to give their baby the best start possible.
Assuming all parents will naturally be able to nurture their babies is misguided, and it means we aren't giving parents the support they want and need. This must change.
Most entrepreneurs are more concerned with their business's success than their own health and productivity. What they don't always realize is just how interrelated they are.

For over two years, The Four Hour Work Week has been a national bestseller. Why? Because most of us resent feeling tethered to our jobs, and we know w...
Working moms, once unheard of, have become a cultural norm. Yet we're still mostly trying to find a balance in our home lives when it comes to making care arrangements.
Multitasking seems to have wormed its way into our brain matter and I'm not sure that's a good thing, but it's tough to turn back now....
How does your generation affect how you work?
