The three things Orla brought to thai episode are:
- The varying realities of single parenthood and how it is not just a one size fits all
- What flexible working really means to single parents

Orla generously shared her day to day suggestions, the questions you could ask people and the tweaks you could make to existing comms and engagement channels to really understand how different family set ups are experiencing your workplace.
