Many of us have been working more flexibly during the coronavirus pandemic. So has work as we knew it changed for good? Can we integrate work and home life better in the future? Questions I’ve been answering for @MumFullofDreams on the latest of her excellent podcasts...

We decided to look into this complex issue with @lbbdcouncil

📢 The Carer’s Leave Bill has passed in the House of Commons!

This is a huge step forward to securing greater recognition, rights and support for unpaid carers in the workplace.

The Bill now moves to the House of Lords. #RightToCarersLeave

@BBCWomansHour @ITV @KrupaPadhyBBC Great piece. The concerns shared are common in all the industries we support at @HowDoYouDoItOrg. A lot of impression mgt in high performing cultures means parents, women in partic, feel unable to share their (very normal & common) worries, assuming others are managing easily.
