Joined by Nikki Slowey, director and co-founder at Flexibility Works, they discuss how people can use all of these modern opportunities to their advantage. Plus, Kim and Eileen hear from small business owner Kelly Fairweather, in Dundee, who is finding creative ways to support her workforce during difficult financial times.
