And maybe save a few marriages

Another weekend, and another spate of articles in the Sunday papers confirming it's High Time working practices at senior levels were changed. Stella, the Sunday Telegraph magazine, ran a story about the growing number of women who feel they may as well be single parents when they have children with partners caught on the treadmill of high-stress work and long hours. The author's marriage was saved only by a move to North Yorkshire where her husband joined a software company set up by another escapee from London wishing to buck the long hours culture.

Meanwhile, Rachel Johnson, writing in the Sunday Times, lamented the continuing lack of women directors despite nearly 40 years of the Equal Pay Act. A Goldman Sachs report last year quantified the financial benefits of closing the employement gap; and the Norwegian experience shows how quickly the gap can be overcome. Ms Johnson concludes that lasting workplace change will never take place from the bottom up, it must be top down.

Finally, some campaign news. Our lovely graphic design team has been working on ideas for a campaign badge and we'll be finalising an image shortly.
