Discussion Wednesday 30th March.
Lockdown has opened up opportunities. Remote work means millions of workers can now access new roles previously geographically off limits.
Workers may choose to work in the office full time or for companies that offer flexible and hybrid work arrangements.
Currently young people are changing jobs every two years.
All of this means businesses have to adapt to a new scenario and make chnges.
This newspaper article is seven years old yet we still have not managed to come up with words that we need to use in everday language that are not gender specific, beginning with the third person singular pronoun. Or maybe we have but the news has not reached us. Come and have your say at ourWednesday conversations

The earthy nature of the shamrock we pinned on our lapels on St Patrick’s Day is a strong memory of childhood in Ireland.
Shamrock is not easy to find but usually you will find some growing in a cemetery or near a wood. It is like tiny clover.The leaves are heart shaped.
We would pick clumps, bring them home and wash the soil off the roots and wrap the
little bunches in tin foil or tissue. Then we would have a pin ready for all the family to
wear their sprig of shamrock proudly on St Patrick’s Day.
To get you in the mood this is an invitation for you to come and meet us and to tell us your story.
You can sing a song or play a tune too if you like. We would love that.
