What are the best ways to budget during a career transition?
3 tips, drawing from experience supporting career transitions for 20+ years: 1. A separation package or redundancy lump sum is designed to 'bridge the gap' between old and new employment. This sets a useful budget timeframe. It can take months, and in some cases an average of 26 weeks to secure a new role, so budget with this in mind. 2. I advise taking a short break to re-energise between roles. However, it is also important to ensure you create a plan, preferably secure the support of a career coach to keep you on track, and invest adequate time in job search activities so that the timeframe between jobs does not protract. 3. Consider an interim role, gig or temp work whilst in transition, to stay connected, energised and funded!

As a working parent I have experienced first-hand that ‘the juggle’ is real. I am now at the life stage where focus shifts to elder care and navigating support from afar for parents in the UK. Fortunately I have had the benefit of working in a supportive and inclusive culture firstly at Sageco and now with HSM Advisory. This enables me to pursue my career ambitions whilst also accessing the flexibility I need to make it work. As a future of work trusted advisor, I am committed to supporting…

That’s why we analyse and monitor our talent management data, including pay, by gender and take action.

That’s why we analyse and monitor our talent management data, including pay, by gender and take action. I also set the expectation among people managers that they address gender bias in their decision making. I do this because we know we can’t attract and retain the best people and improve workplace productivity if there’s any unfairness or perception of unfairness in our workplaces. I encourage all business leaders to take the first step. Equal pay is in your hands.
