Flexibility for Women in the Workplace

When I was returning to work after my first child I wanted flexible hours, a company I could feel challenged in and grow with and one that would understand my personal and professional needs. Kerridge & Partners offered me all of the above plus fun!

After having children some women like to return back to work part-time. Unfortunately they already face an uphill battle as there are not many part-time options out there for the working mum. It has been proven that those companies that provide more support for female executives are the more desirable employers and get the pick of the litter. Whether it’s working from home or in the office it has been proven that people can produce high-quality work even when they don't see their teammates every day. If the client and employer are happy, it shouldn't matter where they're doing their work.

It has been shown that workplace flexibility can improve employee engagement and job satisfaction, reduce stress, improve overall business performance, enhance customer service and position the company as a desirable employer.
