I’d like to give you an example of the kind of person who benefits most from our family friendly policy. Sally is one of our assistants in accounting, who has two small children. Sally’s husband travels abroad a lot so she has to look after the children on her own most of the time. Both the children go to a nursery early in the morning. So, we've agreed that Sally can come in at 8 o’clock, after she leaves the children. At lunchtime Sally's sister picks the children up from the nursery. But she has to go to work herself at three o’clock. So Sally leaves the office at two to collect the children from her sister's. And she makes up the extra time by finishing her work at home. |
