Returner Workshop, evening of Wednesday 28th June, 8-10pm Berkhamsted
If you’ve had a career break and aren’t sure what your next steps are, this is the workshop for you. We’ll spend an interactive evening discussing and working through some exercises that will shine a spotlight on whether you’re ready to return to work and what areas you may need to focus on to be ready.

Our 2017 survey results
As a committed flexible and part-time recruiter that’s been around for ten years this year, we’re focused on encouraging employers to focus less on presenteeism and embrace professional flexible talent on their doorstep. So if you responded to our ten year Member and Employer research questionnaire, we’d like to thank you. The results are in and the data has some really interesting insights so we’re busy preparing a full report for distribution in the next few weeks.
All that’s left to say is, we hope you have a great summer!
