I am now able, if I need to, to change my working patterns so I can take care of doctor or hospital appointments when it is convenient for me and not have to worry about being absent for too long, or feeling like I am not doing my job.

The interview experience was really positive – you all came across as friendly and welcoming and I really liked that you gave a clear outline of the interview structure and what to expect.

Working remotely is not simply about having a work set-up at home rather than an office, but is about how an employer’s and employee’s approach to work adapts to this way of working.
