Let's look at flexible working profiles for Kim, a working mum

Kim - Working mum

I work part-time as an Agile coach in the tech sector.

With two young children my flexible working needs include working part-time and with a remote or hybrid set up. Flexible hours is a bonus as this allows me to manage my workload around the school day.

Having this level of autonomy means I'm more efficient at my job, I can be present for key work meetings and important family time, and everyone is happy.
