Description
The narrative around flexible working needs flipping. After 14 years of experience in education across teaching, school leadership and MAT leadership roles, Emma Turner has come to realise that she is not alone in her ability to work flexibly. However, despite recent growth in support for innovative and life-friendly ways of working, misconceptions, biases and prejudices about flexible working persist. Through a collection of successful examples, Emma explores how flexible working can be viewed by both employers and employees at all levels, including senior leadership. This book aims to open up the conversation around flexible working, outlining what has worked and what could work. By revisiting our views on flexible working, Emma encourages us to consider new approaches. This book offers a fresh perspective on flexible working in education, drawing on the author's extensive experience as a flex-pert.
