Jane Knight, the founder of Successful Mums, was speaking at July’s breakfast event held at Kelsey House. Her company is involved in helping mums get back into the workplace. They offer career advice, access to employer networks, and training to support women who have taken a career break to start a family or those who want to return to a more flexible position.

The audience members, who represent a range of local businesses, saw how flexible working can be an advantage for everyone concerned. It enables women to work around family life and increases their confidence.

Ms Knight also showed how this approach can benefit businesses by providing happy employees who enjoy a healthy work/life balance. It can be useful for smaller businesses that might not have the capacity for full-time staff. In addition, the flexible hours mean that businesses can operate outside of normal office hours in order to meet the demands of their clients.
