It just doesn't make sense that in 2018 that the Government think they only need to consider mothers when it comes to any parental legislation! Link in bio and here to write to MP's urging them to support the bill 'Self-employed shared parenting' buff.ly/2OG2eXJ

The 24/7 always on single version of success doesn't work for parents and means we will continue to lose female talent. @virginiaherlihy talking about the motherhood penalty and its impact on organisational diversity. @MaddoxWinSeries #WinFinance #Genderpaygap @workingfamUK

#flexibleworking is definitely a benefit to both the employee and the employer. Over half our team work flexibly - they love it as it suits their #WorkLifeBalance and we love it as they are productive and focussed when they are working. teapawt.net/theflexfactorHQ/status…
It always seems a bit odd to see #flexibleworking listed as an employee 'perk'. Really? Isn't it a lot more than that, what do you think? buff.ly/2KUnQK0

Employers often list #flexibleworking as a perk. But, this is an arrangement that benefits businesses, and workers alike. @TheFlexFactorHQ's Rachel Bridgman argues that flexible working should become the rule, rather than the exception in our working culture. Do you agree? 😀 teapawt.net/theflexfactorHQ/status…

Thinking of learning something new? It's never too late to re-skill and re-invent yourself as an entrepreneur! Here's a training provider I'd recommend for anyone wanting to learn more about copywriting: 'Write With Worditude'' bit.ly/2IXmQ6C #upskill @worditude

Brilliant advice here from @theflexfactorHQ LOVE the idea of letting go of perfect, just do your best and don’t apologise for leaving on time/early! teapawt.net/theflexfactorhq/status…
What's your best tip for achieving a good #WorkLifeBalance? Is it all a myth? The latest in my series on how to get empowered and #getflex considers what working parents need to embrace to stay relaxed and balanced. 😎😊 buff.ly/2NkDDTP
