About The Guest, Anna Meller
Anna Meller has spent the past 25 years supporting employers to upgrade their flexible working practices. Allowing flexible working has been shown to improve inclusion, wellbeing and productivity. Anna focuses both on strategic aspects such as culture change and policy update; and operational issues such as job redesign; and training for managers and staff.
In her book #Upcycle Your Job: the smart way to balance family life and career she provides a clear case for why flexible working is so important to women’s careers and particularly to encouraging them to move into senior jobs. She also identifies the three important shifts employers must make to fully align their working practices with 21st Century lives.
