Changing the Conversation Around Flexible Working with Ursula Tanvender
The benefits of flexible working are clear. It helps employees balance their work and home lives, leading to greater productivity, improved employee retention, and higher morale. But while some companies are beginning to offer flexible working arrangements as an employee benefit, many still resist or ignore the need for change.
Many organisations still view flexible working as “something for women” or that it encourages people to slack off at work (even though studies have shown no link between productivity and time spent in the office). And many employers who have flexible working policies still only offer them to women returning from maternity leave – not as a way to help workers better manage their lives outside work environments.
While many employees are looking for this type of flexibility, many businesses are still reluctant to adopt it for their employees. But why? And what steps can we take to welcome this conversation?
In today’s episode, we are joined by Ursula Tanvender, the joint CEO at Flexpo. Flexpo is a company on a mission to change the world of work for everyone by making flexible working easier for organisations, people leaders, and teams so that one day, no one will be excluded from career opportunities because of a lack of flexibility.
We are chatting about why Ursula is so passionate about flexible working, working in a job share as a joint CEO, and her entrepreneurial journey to date.
