Key Themes:  Flexible Working, Working Parents, Work Life Balance

Anna Mellor is a flexible working expert. She started her career as an HR manager and then shifted her focus in the mid-1990s to campaigning for better access to flexible work.

By that time she had seen firsthand the challenges that working mothers faced trying to combine work and family; and how this was holding women back from applying for senior roles.

Anna has spent the past 30 years supporting employers to introduce practices that improve work-life balance for their employees. In this episode Anna shares advice from Her book #Upcycle Your Job: the smart way to balance family life and career. She offers practical advice on developing a flexible working solution that works for both you and your employer.
