A fantastically well organised and super inspiring event. I connected with so many brilliant people and heard from some seriously awesome thought leaders. I’m leaving full of enthusiasm and passion to drive jobsharing forward as a first thought recruitment strategy solution and creating an inclusive and diverse workplace for all.

What a truly incredible event: energising, inspirational, educational, thought-provoking and a whole lot of fun. Like  Maddy and Ursula we believe we can re-design the world of work to build truly equitable, inclusive, human centric organisations that deliver better outcomes for employees, customers, stakeholders and society. I was honoured to be part of it.
