Flexibility is becoming a bigger part of how people choose where to work.

New data shared by HR Magazine suggests that 73% of parents with young children are more likely to apply for a job if flexible working is included in the advert. A third have also left a role because of a lack of flexibility!

For employers, flexible working is not only about attracting applications, but about showing candidates that the organisation understands people have responsibilities outside work.

Being clear about flexibility from the start can make a vacancy feel more accessible to quality candidates who may otherwise rule themselves out before applying.

Men’s Health Week takes place from 15th to 21st June, highlighting an issue that still needs far more open conversation.

The Men’s Health Forum states that one man in five dies before the age of 65, which is a stark reminder of why health should be easier to talk about at home, in communities and at work.

For employers, this matters too. A workplace where people feel able to speak up or ask for support and know their health concerns will be taken seriously can make a huge difference, especially in sectors where men may be less likely to talk openly about what they are dealing with.

Carers Week is taking place this week, with the 2026 theme of ‘Building Carer Friendly Communities’.

This year’s campaign, backed by headline sponsor TSB Bank, will focus on building carer-friendly communities - calling for better recognition and support for unpaid carers.

For employers, being carer-friendly is not only about formal policies but also about creating a workplace where people feel able to speak honestly about what they are managing, without worrying that it will count against them.

A little more understanding can make work feel far more manageable for someone carrying a lot outside of it. 🙌
