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!

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

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 bit.ly/2JOYIaU
#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

'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

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. xitter.gq/FamChildTrust/status/1…
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. bit.ly/2NmAuCc
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

So, it seems that many employers are on the surface providing generous #sharedparentalleave but then making it hard to access by having too many caveats attached. Come on employers, sort your processes out and support your staff! @PeopleMgt

Have you considered a #coworking space? With so many #freelancers and startups they're popping up all over the place. So what are the benefits? @LondonLovesBiz

'To reduce the #genderpaygap women need to engage more in #STEM'. Why do so few girls pursue these subject areas? Improving access to digital skills for women of all ages is crucial to help women progress in their careers. From @AccountancyAge
