Emotion At Work

In this episode, I interview Krystal Wilkinson who is a researcher, practitioner, and senior lecturer at the Manchester Metropolitan University   Krystal joins me to discuss flexible working; a very topical and relevant practice which surrounds the present landscape of work. Krystal is keen to challenge the narrative that often sits around flexible working and the preconceived perceptions that many organisations and individual’s hold towards who should be eligible. We look at some of the normative assumptions in organisations around who qualifies for flexible-working, before discussing some of the work-life challenges and dilemmas which are identified and discussed in Krystal’s research.   Your resources for this episode:   Work-life challenges and dilemmas paper: https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10.1177/0950017016677942 Perceptions of fairness paper: https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1111/1748-8583.12181 Perinatal mental health & ‘rhythm intelligent managers’: https://onlinelibrary
