Heather Hambrick, Director, shares how flexible working allows her to balance both her job at WTW and an external PhD program in Healthcare Administration.

Our lives are made up of so many different priorities. These are ever-changing, so flexible working empowers the ability to shift in a dynamic environment. Working remotely for WTW enables me to save two hours travel time every day, meaning I am able to do more of the things I love, such as spending quality time with my spouse, looking after my cats and cooking!

Shortly before joining WTW, in my own time, I began an accelerated PhD program in Healthcare Administration. I will graduate with my Doctorate in Healthcare Administration this August and look forward to what this can do for my work at WTW.

I really appreciate having the flexibility of working from home, so that I don’t have to lose any study time to commuting to and from work. I am able to shift from my early morning schoolwork seamlessly into my workday at WTW and continue studying in the evenings.

I cannot express how grateful I am to find such a supportive company environment that enables this success!

Angela Hillier, Account Manager, shares the significant impact that flexible working has had on her everyday life.

The flexible working arrangements at WTW have been life-changing for me.

Previously, my daily commute totalled three hours and I never had time to go to exercise classes as they didn’t fit in around my travel to and from work. Now, without this commute, I can easily fit in pilates classes three times a week and start my day positively before working remotely.

This arrangement has also enabled me to finish work early once a week and pick up my grandson from day care, which is a very precious time for me. The time saved by not commuting every day is so much better spent walking the dogs, getting my domestic chores done and improving my work-life balance. Thank you WTW!
