The 3-tier life model is becoming outdated. 1 in 3 workers are over 50 & many have specialist skills business can't afford to lose. Making #flexibleworking more accessible – and inclusive - is key. Read our report on older workers, with @Ageing_Better: timewise.co.uk/article/flexi…

Speaks volumes of leadership that doesn’t trust the people who work for them, want to retain command & control & go back to what they’ve always known. This is a time for change & leaders need to engage with their people to learn and adapt bbc.co.uk/news/business-5866…

Hey Twitter! - Any men out there who liked working remotely or differently during the pandemic? How do you feel about going back to the office/worksite? Especially if you became a more active dad or caregiver. Writing. DMs open. Or [email protected]

People worked from home for a year, and the sky didn’t fall. People worked harder and became more efficient. 🚆Time once wasted on commuting was reallocated 🧘Flexibility made it easier to pivot between work and life ☕ Less time went to gossiping trib.al/mA0Ji48

Five million Brits are “dreading” the return to offices, according to campaigners who are calling for more flexible working to help people living with mental health problems. bigissue.com/latest/employme…

One of the reasons we are finding extended remote working hard is missing the buzz and relationships in the office. Let’s not undervalue how it helps with engagement and creativity. Most people want a blend of office and remote working #flexibleworking theguardian.com/commentisfre…

This is where we need to be: "Imagine a job situation with 2 identical candidates, one male, one female. Think about the effect on unconscious bias if no one knows which one may take parental leave, or access flexible work." Great piece by @IanDinwiddy ow.ly/rOYF50AxigV

Attention micromanagers: if you can’t trust people to work from home, you… (a) Probably shouldn’t have hired them in the first place (b) Haven’t done a good job motivating them (c) Might be projecting your own work habits onto them (d) All of the above 😆 #SaturdayThoughts

Replying to @Volunteers4NHS
@Volunteers4NHS and @NCS is there an opportunity to collaborate? There are so many #year11 students with six months ahead of them who could give and gain so much from volunteering to help us through these days- as a parent I would support #coronavirus #COVID19 #volunteers4nhs – at Standon, East

We are planning a #LeanInGirlsUK website & a toolkit of resources. Plus an event for #DayOfTheGirl Are there any funding pots we can tap into for girls' leadership/ empowerment?
Did you know the loss of joy is a symptom of the #menopause? I’d still plan and do stuff,but felt numb inside, like I was just ticking off a list of stuff to do with no emotion. A miserable and confusing place to be. Retweet raise awareness #makemenopausematter
