This week on TaPod, we have a real gift for you! In conjunction with Nadine O’Regan from TQ Solutions we speak with Bjorn Jarvis – Head of Labour Statistics from the Australian Bureau of Statistics. We go straight to the source for up-to-date data and trends for unemployment, immigration, inflation and how it impacts the labour market, wage growth, productivity and predictions over the next 12 months. It is an absolutely fascinating discussion based on real data and commentary. If you want to be the smartest person in the office, this is the podcast for you!

This week on TaPod, we tackle a really important issue – Women’s Health in the Workplace. We are joined by the amazing Jess Gibson-Jones and Kaz Thorley who first shared their personal stories at the Sydney Talent Meet Up a week earlier. From Periods to Peri-Menopause to Menopause to Miscarriages to Endometriosis to Hysterectomy to Cancer and more, we highlight how Women’s Health Issues are not regarded, or even accepted in many workplaces. It’s raw. It’s educational. And it’s essential that this issue is spoken about… by everyone.
