It just doesn't make sense that in 2018 that the Government think they only need to consider mothers when it comes to any parental legislation!

It's National #worklifeweek! A big shout out to everyone taking part and we hope your plans go well. You can still download our toolkit - we've got plenty of last minute ideas to get involved. https://t.co/VPkgeRZInQ

The 24/7 always on single version of success doesn't work for parents and means we will continue to lose female talent. @virginiaherlihy talking about the motherhood penalty and its impact on organisational diversity. @MaddoxWinSeries #WinFinance #Genderpaygap @workingfamUK

If you're expecting a child or have recently had a baby you might find our three-part toolkit for new parents useful. It covers benefits, rights at work and flexible working. https://t.co/eQJ3Rh6nd1

[Attune Flex Jobs @attunejobs]

It is always really rewarding when you are asked your opinion on #careers #flexibleworking @theflexfactorHQ has quoted us on being strategic when asking for flexibleworking. Take a look https://t.co/88kb9QzSjh

[The Flex Factor @theflexfactorHQ]

#flexibleworking is absolutely not a perk. Parents of disabled children really struggle to hold down jobs because of a lack of parental support and job flexibility. @TrainingJournal

@mamacanflex exactly! 😂

'Firms are reluctant to hire women if they suspect they plan to have children in the near future'. Really?! 😲 It's not just unlawful, it's stupid; those firms are missing out on a major pool of talent and skills. @InsightOnWork #genderequality

As well as this 38% of companies would offer #flexibleworking to increase staff retention according to a survey by @britishchambers and @indeed

@crecheandco It'll be fine! As long as you have a few key fun things to do organised in advance, then you can fill in the gaps with more everyday stuff. (I also have a personal stack of chocolate hidden away to keep me sane!)

[The Flex Factor @theflexfactorHQ]

@AquilinaSocial I do hope so! 😂

[The Flex Factor @theflexfactorHQ]

Anyone thinking of retraining as a #socialmediamanager? 🤔Read my account of the highs and lows of training with @DigitalMumsHQ on my quest for #workthatworks.

@reboot_network Thank you for sharing!

Who struggles with #HolidayChildcare over the summer? It's a huge challenge, financially and logistically. A new survey from @FamChildTrust finds the average cost is £800, that's PER CHILD to cover the 6 week break. https://t.co/vrkMBskFfN

[Coram Family and Childcare @CoramFamChild]

Families are preparing for one of the biggest annual pressures on their finances as the summer holiday comes with an average price tag of £800 for six weeks of #HolidayChildcare per child. https://t.co/GZHa4AxkdM

[The Flex Factor @theflexfactorHQ]

Ooh, here's another seriously important reason to tackle our #genderpaygap and keep striving for #genderequality. People sleep better in societies where men take a more active role in childcare and more women have high powered jobs. 😴 @Independent
