Are you tired of feeling sluggish, achy and uninspired at work? The solution may lie in embracing micro movements throughout your day. Lizzie Williamson, a former professional dancer and wellness expert, shares her transformative approach to revitalizing the workday through simple, yet powerful bursts of activity.

Lizzie's journey began 15 years ago when she found herself in the grips of postnatal depression. The very activity that had once brought her so much joy - dancing - had become an immense struggle. Determined to reclaim her wellbeing, Lizzie started with the smallest of steps - literally.

"I just kept doing these little plies at my kitchen counter," Lizzie recalls. "Even though my head said it was pointless, there was something about that tiny sense of achievement that kept me going." This simple act of self-care was the catalyst for Lizzie's remarkable transformation and the birth of her global movement.

Lizzie's mission is to inspire a global "active workday revolution," empowering leaders and employees to embrace movement as an integral part of the modern workplace. Her book, "The Active Workday Advantage," provides a roadmap for organizations to implement simple, yet impactful changes.

"The way we're working in this century is not working," Lizzie declares. "It's time to challenge the status quo and create workplaces that prioritize the physical and mental wellbeing of our people."

So, are you ready to unlock your inner pharmacy and revolutionize your workday? Start with a simple micro movement today, and watch the transformation unfold.

The recent gender pay gap report revealed that a number of Australian businesses have a pay gap of over 50% .

Over 5000 businesses with over 100 employees shared their data with WGEA leading to the landmark report.

The aim of the report is to bring transparency, accountability and commitment from business to work to reduce their gaps.

The overall message of this report and sentiment has been very clear, we no longer have the bandwidth to tolerate inaction or excuse, that moving forward we expect to see milestone improvements for both women and men.

Our national pay gap currently sits at 19%, which equates to approx. $18,000 less per annum earned by a woman and this has a significant impact on the choices that is available to them especially in retirement.

Dr Samone McCurdy is the Executive Manager of Capacity Building at WGEA and in this episode we discuss:

• changes in the gender equality landscape
• the findings of the report and what this means to businesses
• employee involvement in driving change
• inclusions of reports such as this in ESG reporting
• future gender equality reports

This conversation is a must-listen for anyone interested in the state of gender equality in the workplace and practical steps organizations can take to build more inclusive, equitable cultures.
