Director & Co-Founder

“A thriving economy and strong business resilience requires people who are adequately skilled, motivated and engaged. This can only be achieved when business embraces the multifaceted and interwoven aspects of people’s lives – our families, passions and interests.

“I believe the pandemic has given us a rare opportunity to shake up the old dated 9-5, innovate and re-design work.”

Director & Co-Founder

“More and more, I hear friends and family talking about how they can balance their career with family responsibilities (whatever that looks like).

“I would like everyone to be able to fulfil their potential and be in a position to choose both a career and the home life they wish while not being held back. This is particularly true for women and something I care a lot about.

“More than ever, we need to be challenging the old-fashioned infrastructure of work being in a static location, full time. Working flexibly simply works better for all of us.”

Communications Lead

“There are stacks of evidence on the benefits of flexible working for people and for businesses. But I remember that it never, ever crossed my mind to work flexibly myself until it became impossible for me – as a new working mum – to get by without it.

“It was a revelation in what I could get done at work and at home.

“Similarly, I speak to employees and employers every week from all kinds of business sectors and walks of life who say flexible working is having a positive impact.

“But there are still people who feel, as I did, that flex isn’t relevant. We need to show them it is.”

Digital Marketing Manager

“Flexibility to me means a better work-life balance! From choosing when we work to choosing where we work, the constraints of the standard office-based 9-5 no longer appeal to many of us, myself included! Now more than ever before we’re seeing the benefits flexible working can bring to a workforce and it’s exciting to be a part of that!

This year is the first time I’ve worked flexibly and now I can’t see past it. The evidence is there, the case studies are there, the real-life impact is there….the time to embrace flexible working is now!”

Senior Associate

“Flexibility Works has a vision for work in Scotland that is immediately important for workers and strategically vital for employers.

“I am excited to be part of this exceptional team that underpins its employer support and partnerships with practical and insightful research.“

Associate

“Having never worked in a traditional 9-to-5 role, I know and appreciate the many benefits that flexible working can bring. It’s this understanding that led me to be passionate about the changing nature of work and to the desire support others to succeed in a flexible, hybrid and remote world. 

I feel privileged to now be in a role, where I can create and facilitate learning programmes for others to ensure they have all the tools and skills needed to be able to thrive within a flexible world of work.“
