"AI isn't replacing jobs; it's replacing tasks, freeing us for creativity and innovation."
In this episode of The Therapy Suite, Gavin J welcomes Jenny, the CEO of Find Your Flex Group, to chat about the fascinating intersection of AI and flexible working. Jenny shares her journey from a traditional 9-to-5 routine to becoming a pioneer in promoting work-life balance through flexible roles. Her story kicks off with the challenges faced when her daughter was born with hip dysplasia, leading her to rethink the rigidity of work schedules.
Jenny's candid reflections on how personal experiences fuelled her mission to transform workplace culture are both relatable and inspiring. The conversation dives into the benefits and challenges of AI in the workplace, addressing common fears and misconceptions. Jenny explains how AI isn't out to replace jobs but rather to streamline tasks, freeing up human creativity and innovation. She emphasises the importance of employers adopting AI ethically to enhance roles rather than cut them down.
Gavin and Jenny explore how flexible working can improve mental health, highlighting the shift from valuing presenteeism to prioritising autonomy. They discuss the need for clear boundaries between work and home life, especially in hybrid roles, and how outcome-based working can reduce stress. For those grappling with change, Jenny suggests simple steps to regain balance, like taking time to educate oneself about new technologies.
The episode wraps up with Jenny's vision for future workplaces that are human-centred and trust-driven, encouraging businesses to start small by redesigning roles with AI in mind. Tune in for an engaging discussion that tackles the future of work with humour and empathy, offering practical advice for anyone looking to improve their work-life balance.
