How flexible are you? @Tess_invests
Twitter’s reaction to Louise Pryor and Simon Jones’ April Letter of the Month, which discussed the importance of dealing with climate risk
Reading the latest @TheActuaryMag it is interesting how many of the job ads (NOT THAT I LOOK EVER) flag that they are offered with home working, agile working or flexi working. Good to see and shows how important this is to candidates (NOT THAT I LOOK EVER). #Jobs #allrolescanflex

Spot on @LouisePryor. Why on earth would you ignore a risk just because it is complicated? #LoveHer
This is the actuarial profession demonstrating its true value.
Conversations on climate change
@HigherEdActuary Strong stuff on actuaries and climate change. Time to get educated.
@markjrowlinson @Tess_invests @LouisePryor What do you do with it then? I’ve read that guide and don’t remember
seeing anything practical in it. Investment managers perhaps (although even that is business as usual in my mind) but not pensions actuaries. What practical step should be taken that doesn’t just use up paper?
In theory it means “we focus on output and achievements rather than facetime at the office”. In practice it often means “we got rid of half the desks to cut costs so now everyone needs to WFH twice a week”.
@HigherEdActuary I’m a little less cynical. Having moved to a “smart” office with only enough seats for 65% of staff we always have plenty of space. Looking back the old ways of individual offices and filing cabinets was a colossal waste of space and expense.

Fantastic to see a review of @KateRaworth doughnut economics in @TheActuaryMag a bookk full of ideas that actuaries will ill find useful and inspiring as we look to solve future problems. ms.
I do agree, and really value my WFH days as I can do the school run. It just needs the right attitude ffrom employer and employee. I might have been eexpecting that wink to do a bit too much work in my earlier tweet. m
@DaddyP If I was an economist I’d be thinking like this. Kate rocks ... in a good way of course. 12 | THE ACTUARY | MAY 2019

@kennytindall @ I aagree. I’m a big supporter of flexibility and wfh. But it helps to be in the office regularly. I think you B need to see your teams f2f and talk to them as ne individuals. Calls and IM don’t do that anywhere ind near as well. ne www.theactuary.com
