The Workplace

[Repeated from Tuesday 11.00am.] NND and guests discuss all aspects of work and workplaces. This week: in the penultimate episode in the Women’s History Month 2026 series, NND discusses Women, Power and The Workplace (Part 1), with PhD researcher Su Michelli who discusses her thesis statement which investigates how having a voice at work does not necessarily correlate with being heard, as she explores how authority is recognised and how some contributions are taken on board while others are not. When feminist research indicates that women are more likely to be interrupted, have their ideas overlooked or be judged differently for the same behaviours as men, can everyone really participate on equal terms in the workplace given how their contributions are received? What is the difference between having a voice at work and actually being heard? What happens to speech after it is spoken and how does all of this relate to credibility and recognition? We explore these issues along with the concepts of uptake (whether communication registers with the listener as intended) and relational autonomy (environmental shape-shifting and its impact on communication). Part 1 of 2. Download select episodes from the podcast and continue the discussion using #workplacennd.
