RE-DESIGNING THE WORKPLACE FOR PARENTS WITH AMY GRILLI FOUNDER OF THE FIVE HOUR CLUB
In this episode Amy Grilli shares the transformative journey that led her to create the Five Hour Club, a job board aimed at providing flexible work opportunities for parents. Amy recounts her early career in education and her struggles with identity when considering the traditional path of stay-at-home motherhood. Her viral LinkedIn post, which expressed a collective frustration with work-life inflexibility, struck a chord with literally millions of people (14millino and counting!) and prompted the creation of a platform offering five-hour workdays to cater to parents. Amy discusses that with me, amidst the impact of societal judgment on women's roles, the emotional weight of invisible labour, and the broader implications of workplace inflexibility. Insightful and inspiring, this episode delves into the challenges and triumphs of advocating for a work-life balance that honours both professional ambitions and family commitments.
