Policy ideas in New Matilda
March 30th, 2007
New Matilda is undergoing a change, the magazine and policy portal will sperate and the policy portal will actually become the new Centre for Policy Development.
In the meantime, I’ve had a piece outlining some policy ideas around work-life balance published today - here.
The key to the piece is that policy can work over time. By this I mean it may not have an immeadiate impact, but good policy can actually change the atmosphere of a workplace and support cultural change in the long term.
That is what the ideas in Beyond maternity leave: policies to shift our work culture are about.
Interestingly, the piece was written before Labor decided to dump their own maternity leave policy.
Which makes getting beyong maternity leave that extra bit harder, or so you’d expect.
