Why flexibility should be the new workplace standard

Flexibility First: Lessons from the Founder of the UK's Largest Flexible Working Community


Katy Fridman’s career initially followed a clear traditional trajectory as she worked her way up the corporate ladder to become Acting Director of Trade Marketing, EMEA at Microsoft Advertising. However, after becoming a mother, her career path quickly became ‘squiggly’ as she experienced first hand the challenges mothers face in balancing work and motherhood, and the lack of flexibility provided in the workplace.


Her platform Flexible Working People has brought together over 90,000 women, all championing the same cause and message: flexibility in the workplace should be a standard for all, not a privilege for some.


Learn how by investing in yourself and playing to your strengths, you can create a positive and successful bounce back in the face of adversity.


The Switch is hosted by the St. James's Place Financial Adviser Academy, the UK's largest financial adviser training programme.
