Influence & Impact for Leaders

Ep 85 - The Business Case for Flexible Working with Molly Johnson-Jones


Listen Later

Do you know that globally only 8% of people want to go into the office every day?

The pandemic forced remote working onto the majority of employers but before that Molly Johnson-Jones, CEO and Co-Founder of Flexa, was advocating for flexible work, certifying companies and promoting them on the Flexa recruitment platform.

In this episode, we discuss:

  • What flexible working really is (hint: it’s not just remote working) and how Flexa measures it
  • The “Great Reshuffle” and what the future of flexible working could look like
  • Molly’s advice for companies and leaders wanting to offer a more flexible workplace
  • How more workplace equality can be achieved through flexible working policies

After this episode, I encourage you to reflect on whether the way you work, works for you and your team, and what flexible working changes are possible at your organisation.

MORE ABOUT MOLLY

Molly Johnson-Jones, is the CEO and co-founder of Flexa, a platform that enables people to discover companies with the best possible working environments.

After being sacked from investment banking because of asking to work from home one day per week to accommodate her autoimmune disease, Molly realised that the lack of transparency in the job-hunting process was problematic for both candidates and companies. So she and her partner, Maurice, started Flexa.

She’s closed two rounds of funding with Flexa and regularly speaks on the future of work, gender inequality in the startup world and the perils of raising money.
