"MAYDAY allows me to work a 4-day week and gives the flexibility to work from home"

Balancing home life and working life as a mum can be challenging and I find myself feeling the inevitable mum guilt “am I spending enough quality time with my kids“, but working for an employer who values your skills, promotes flexibility and creates a supportive work culture, has made my life easier.

MAYDAY allows me to work a 4 day week and gives me the flexibility to work from home, so I feel lucky that I get to do some of the school drop-offs and pickups.

I am so grateful for MAYDAY for allowing me to balance work and being a mum to my 2 wonderful children.

Working from home has allowed me to spend time with my son!

After my son was born in March I thought balancing being a Dad with my work commitments was going to be very challenging, however, the support and flexibility MAYDAY has given me has made this so much easier.

Offering flexible working times and the opportunity to work from home has allowed me to spend time with my son and still service my amazing clients and candidates effectively.
