Our Founder Helen Wright loves flexible working and she has… recently recorded a podcast called “The Wobbly Middle”, hosted by Susannah de Jager and Patsy Day. It's a new series on women reinventing their careers in their 40s. Its aim is to explore how women can find the path to the next stage of their working lives. Each episode will offer insights, through the journeys of very different women, with the goal to inspire, entertain and give comfort. In Helen’s episode she talks about her journey from Broadcast Journalist to Business Owner as well as her passion for flexible employment and how these opportunities are a real enabler in our workplaces.

Flexible Working with Skipton Building Society
Helen Wright, 923 Jobs Founder was spent a day with Skipton Building Society last week, to deliver a programme of workshops focusing on all the brilliant benefits flexible working brings to both businesses and employees.
It was a really empowering day, that explored the wide-ranging benefits of working flexibly, across all areas of the business. Discussions covered topics including:
What are the barriers to implementing flexible working policies and strategies?
How can you lead a team remotely?
How can you manage a team where some employees work remotely?
Helen commented: “Skipton Building Society already have a fantastic ethos, and recognise that in today's society individuals sometime require more flexibility to manage their commitments in both their work and their personal lives. They see flexibility as an enabler - and so do we!”
