Flexa: Job searching with a difference - a podcast by Dan Reed
from 2020-03-16T07:00
This week I’m joined by Molly Johnson-Jones, Co-Founder of Flexa. Molly’s on a mission to help match candidates with flexible working jobs, right up to C-suite level.
It's really hard to know what you're actually signing up for when a company says 'Yeah, we embrace flexible working'. Does that mean you can work from home when you absolutely need to, or does it mean that you can manage your day as you see fit?
What's lacking is an understanding of what individual companies mean when they talk about flexible working. Molly - and Flexa - want to change that.
In this episode we talk about what led Molly to create Flexa, the impact of flexible working on young men, and why presenteeism still exists. I hope you enjoy.
