In this episode I am talking about this notion of flexible working, which has only really been embraced by HR departments and businesses since the pandemic.

In many cases, companies are now adapting to the growing demand for flexibility in the workplace, but is this really a good thing for you, the employer?

I am going to talk you through how you can approach flexible working with your employer, and how you can embed it successfully.

Mentors can be such a valuable investment for anyone starting out in their career and needing support.

A great mentor can help you progress your career and build self-esteem.
