Hysterical: 'Push through' or quit: The choice facing women with chronic pain in inflexible workplaces
Women are sharing experiences of stigma and discrimination when it comes to flexible working arrangements to manage chronic pain conditions. This is despite the fact at least 3 million Australians are estimated to be suffering with chronic pain, amid a rise in remote and hybrid work arrangements following the COVID pandemic. In this bonus episode of 'Hysterical' we speak to women who have encountered this workplace stigma, and the changes they wish to see across Australia's workplaces.
