7. The real barriers to flexible job design for people with energy limiting conditions (with Catherine Hale)
HOST: Peter Ghin
Guest: Catherine Hale (Researcher, Kings College London)
On this weeks pod I speak with the ever-erudite Catherine Hale about the research she is leading at Kings College London which explores the barriers to designing flexible jobs for people with disability - specifically people with fluctuating energy limiting conditions (FELCS).
This conversation packs a punch. We dig beneath the high-level discourses of inclusion and the social model of disability, to understand what the research reveals about the practical obstacles to creating what Catherine calls - FlexPlus Jobs. This translates to real flexibility about how, when, and where work can be done.
We also unpick the potential downside of job flexibility, particularly the erosion of security that can come with ‘piecework’, and the problematic nature of over-hyping disability entrepreneurship.
