Australian report finds the changing nature of work provides new opportunities for workplace gender equality

A new research report released today has identified an important shift in how employees choose to engage in the workforce, as they increasingly seek flexibility and opportunities to tailor work schedules and locations to their needs.

The ninth report in the Gender Equity Insights Series from the Bankwest Curtin Economics Centre (BCEC) and the Workplace Gender Equality Agency (WGEA) provides an in-depth analysis of the evolving nature of part-time work and implications of this change for the future of work in Australia.

At the same time, full-time roles that incorporate flexible work arrangements, such as remote and hybrid work options, are now becoming more prevalent in Australian workplaces, having risen by 2.3 percentage points to 42.5% for the same period.

The findings present employers with a clear challenge to actively consider what more they can do to support part-time employees as well as those who need to or choose to work flexibly.
