CHAOTIC WORK COMMUTE // 🚗 Have you noticed a significant increase in the time it takes to commute to work in Australia? According to the Melbourne Institute: Applied Economic & Social Research HILDA Survey, from 2002 to 2019, it went up from an average of 55 minutes a day to 68 minutes a day and it affects the mental health of men more than women. According to the Australian Bureau of Statistics, between 2016 and 2021, public transport users have dropped by 50%! In the KPMG Global CEO Outlook Report, 64% of Global CEOs believe we will all be back onsite within three years and 87% will reward onsite employees with favourable assignments, raises and promotions – and all this is happening whilst The Australia Institute reports that Australians provide an average of 5.4 hours of unpaid work per week. I discuss these issues and more in this short segment on Channel Nine’s Today Extra with David Campbell and Sylvia Jeffreys, produced by Briana Goodchild. The main points include: When to commute + niche role + required role + clear career plan + culture Considering a change + health challenges + overwhelmed + lifestyle changes + workplace issues Negotiating WFH + keep work records + consider hybrid work + demonstrate performance + calculate unpaid hours A transcript, details and reference links online at https://sueellson.com/blog/chaotic-work-commute-on-channel-9-today-extra #workcommute #careers #sueellson
