It means that every day is different. It’s also great to work with a diverse group of people who bring their own experiences and individual personality to the team.”

    “My flexible working arrangement supports the balance between my home and work life. I have two small children, and when my eldest started primary school last year, it was important to me that I could balance quality time with my family and a rewarding and successful career. And so my flexible working arrangement was born! ActewAGL was supportive of my arrangement from the very beginning. I’ve been blown away by the support I’ve had from all levels – from the CEO, General Manager and my team.”
