| | PM - Goward calls for change to work-life balance |
 | | Industrial relations reform, if it's intended to make the economy more productive, more competitive, it also is intended to make it more sustainable, and at the same time governments are responsible for ensuring that family values are retained, that family life remains a stable and secure place for children and elderly people, and for couples. |
 | | JULIA LIMB: But Dr Marian Baird, who is a senior lecturer in work and organisational studies at the University of Sydney, says that it's the workplace that must be more flexible, not just the workers, particularly as the Federal Government is planning extensive reforms. |
 | | MARIAN BAIRD: Employers do need to understand that workers have a home life, and I'm sure many do, and they need to understand that flexibility needs to work both ways. |
