A TIP

Flexible work is the new black. Organisations everywhere are starting to use it as a strategy for attracting and retaining great talent.

So do you currently have the kind of flexibility that suits you?

If you're an office worker you've probably now got some level of flexibility in where you work. But what about when and how much you work?

Maybe you'd love to make a big change and go part-time. Or perhaps a much smaller adjustment would have a hugely positive impact, like changing your work hours to 7am-3pm every Friday.

There has never been a better time to negotiate for more flexibility. So why not start a conversation about it!
