What is the project about?
This project, funded by the Western Australian State Government (details below), has as one of its aims to provide evidence-based and practical resources that inform and enhance the experience of flexible working. The resources provide strategies for employees, teams, and managers to maximise the benefits and reduce the risks of flexible work, and thereby help to support businesses, government, and not-for-profit agencies.
The project is part of the Centre for Transformative Work Design’s research program and supports the Thrive at Work initiative; both of which are part of Curtin University’s Future of Work Institute.
