    Ep 169: Chronic Health Conditions at Work

    In this episode, part of our Thriving at Work initiative, Richard is joined by Dr. Rachael Skews for a discussion about employees with chronic health conditions. They look at what constitutes a chronic health condition, while employees may be reticent to speak up about their condition or ask for assistance, and the ways that organisations can unintentionally exclude people from the workplace due to inflexibility about how work is organised. They then explore how we can look at the experience of these employees through the lens of Psychological Flexibility. This includes the role of acceptance, clarity of values and taking action in the direction of what really matters. Do get in touch with your comments and questions about this key workplace topic.
