Power of the Parent

S6 Ep20: When Flexible Working Has Become a Parent Only Issue


Listen Later

How often is flexible working synonymous with parents or those with caring responsibilities? Taking it broader means we can shrink the chances of ‘them and us’ and ‘flood gates’ mentality, and instead build it into a whole organisational narrative. Flex is such a rich tapestry of set ups, even the trickiest of believers could find a version that works for them!

Don’t be fooled though - even the most advanced amongst us when it comes to flex can still take a moment to reflect and check in on how it’s going, particularly if it’s got the badge of being the saviour for parenting.

The three things we’re covering are:

  1. Where (and how) do you talk about flexible working
  2. Story sharing 
  3. The business case
  4. And that brings us to the last episode of this series - I hope you’ve picked something up along the way that has made a difference to your parental support strategy, no matter what stage you’re at. We’re going to have a short break for now, but will be back in April with some brand new episodes of Power of the Parent: Three Things You Need To Know About. 

    Until then please do dive into the archives or have a wander around the Power of the Parent website: www.power-of-the-parent.com
