Many women today find that it is neccessary or wish to keep working while raising children due to financial pressure as well as personal fulfilment.

Nine in 10 women have used flexible work arrangements at some point in their careers. Good news: more women are taking advantage of new flexibility in balancing home and work. Bad news: those workers can get comfy in their fuzzy pink slippers, because they're sure not gonna see a corner office any time soon.
A just-released study of 400 professional women attending Simmons School of Management's leadership conference last April found evidence of women's changing attitude toward work. Besides the unexpectedly high number of women who take advantage of flexible work arrangements, the Simmons professors who authored the study--Mary Shapiro, Cynthia Ingols and Stacy Blake-Beard--seem surprised by women's aims in pursuing flexibility: not to scale back or "opt out" of careers, as the media hype and previous research would have it, but instead to keep their thumbs emphatically in the pie so as not to lose their full-time status.
We're not clinging to our jobs because of some Gloria Steinem blabbedyblah about a woman's right to a career. So why the sticky thumbs? Simple: we need the money. A huge number of these women--86%--earn more than half their household income; a third bring home all the bacon themselves. Reality ain't romantic.
And why the new embrace of flexible work arrangements? The researchers theorize that more women are beginning to see themselves as free agents who work for She Is Me, Inc. In the past, this attitude was discouraged by the white men who dominated the workplace and who could afford to marry themselves to one lifetime employer. Today, corporate bankruptcies and outsourcing imperil the very notion of a lifetime job. Even white men are free agenting now.
But it's still women who seek flexibility out of need.

Telework - distance no barrier
By: Paula Heelan, FAAW Director
Published in Queensland Country Life 29 May 2006
While Chris Capel lives on her family owned cattle and sheep station, 90 kilometres north west of Longreach, her geography has no bearing on the work she is able to do from her home, Evesham. As a teleworker, (someone who works outside the central office using telecommunications), she is part of a group of people working together „Ÿ apart.
With an open mind and the persistence needed to make things happen, Chris is a driving force behind a new research project with the potential to change the future of work for women in rural and remote areas.
Since gaining her first teleworking position with a State government department in 1997, and in recognising the benefits, Chris has been determined to make teleworking opportunities readily available to rural Australia. With years of experience on voluntary boards at both state and national level, an Australian Rural Leadership Program graduate and an ABC Rural Woman of the Year regional winner, she has been advocating teleworking for more than a decade.
As a board director and past president of the Foundation for Australian Agricultural Women (FAAW), and ardent about anything to do with empowering rural women, Chris established a subcommittee within FAAW to investigate the opportunities to increase the uptake of teleworking.
“The project came about because a lack of hard data on teleworking in Australia, particularly in rural areas, was identified by the Australian Government’s inquiry into teleworking last year,” she explains. “When a funding source became available, we pounced on the opportunity to do the research with the focus on rural women.”
Join the FAAW Teleworking Database
One of the outcomes of the teleworking project is the creation of a database. This database will include contact details, and in some cases more extensive information such as occupation and skills, for women and employers who have participated in the research, and other people who have expressed an interest in the project.
This database will be used to promote opportunities for rural, regional and remote women teleworking. People who register will also have the option of being placed on an email distribution list so that FAAW may contact people in the event of further projects or opportunities relevant to teleworking for women in rural, regional and remote areas. During the project, people on the email list will also receive project update newsletters.
Information on the database will remain confidential, and will not be accessed by parties other than FAAW and the funding agency, the Australian Government Office for Women.
Database registration is open to:
Women in rural, regional and remote areas who telework
Women in rural, regional and remote areas who would like to telework
Employers who have an interest in teleworking
Other parties who have an interest in teleworking
Working From Home
www.apesma.asn.au/adviceonline
Home based work is increasingly becoming available, reflecting the opportunities now provided by technology. Some employers have terms and conditions for working from home laid down in enterprise agreement. Often access to home based work depends upon agreement between the employee and employer.
There are many publications that highlight the benefits of working from home. These include increased productivity, flexible working hours, reduced absenteeism, enhanced job satisfaction, retention of staff & so on.
Employers need to be aware that the courts are prepared to find that they are acting in a discriminatory fashion by unreasonably denying access to home based work in instances of genuine family carer responsibilities.
It follows that some requests for home based work are reasonable & others are not. So how can you determine if your job is suited to work at home?
Consider:
how important it is to be in the workplace
the size, balance & composition of staff ie. are you the only specialist expected to attend on site at any moment
how to you get access to the information & networks that easily operate in a workplace
how you can attend meetings & ensure that you do not become too isolated
how you will be supervised
how you will maintain access to career progression & opportunities
who pays for any special equipment, stationary requirements & expenses & how
will the employer need access to your home
how will you deal with clients
What about your home?
are your occupational health & safety needs met
will you be covered by workers compensation
can you provide security for work related equipment & materials
can you control the interruptions
are you able to maintain a separate work space
are you being realistic about child care arrangements
If you wish to work from home check whether you are covered by an enterprise agreement or company policy that contains work from home provisions.
Any complex arrangements affecting your employment should be put in writing to avoid future confusion or misunderstanding. Remember to contact your industrial officer for advice.
Childcare
Access to nearby, affordable, quality childcare, that is available over the spread of hours you need, is essential for managing family responsibilities and employment.
Employers may sponsor childcare at either an in-house child care centre or an appropriate child care service. Financial assistance from your employer may be available though your enterprise agreement or by individual agreement.
Depending upon how they structure their employer sponsored in-house child care centre, some employers may be eligible for an exemption from fringe benefits tax. Further information on FBT can be obtained from APESMA Accountancy Services on 1800 506 016. Alternatively, contact the Australian Taxation Office (ATO) at www.ato.gov.au.or your own professional adviser.

Cash Making Opportunities - The Beginning The working life is already tough enough, but the worries of being out of work was even tougher.
