Melbourne University today released its findings into a study on the turnover of female bank workers. According to the University's press release it's findings report that unfriendly work - family practices along with managment changes and mergers, are the key reasons behind the womens' departures. This seems to challenge the notion that professional women 'opt out' of their career to focus purely on motherhood as the most likely reason for leaving the study claims.

How family friendly is your organisation and what might it be costing your organisation in attrition? There are many ways to introduce easy and affordable family firendly, flexible work initiatives into workplaces such as allowing people staggered start and finish times, allowing work from home access, re-orientating and providing mentoring to parents returning from parental leave, salary sacrificing pay for more annual leave and the list continues.
