135. COMEBACK - Hazel Murrells - Tyler Grange - Maternity return to a firm where EVERYONE works 4 days (paid for 5) + how to be more focused at work and present at home

Ask me a Q Hello Bright Minds, My guests today are Hazel and Lucie from Tyler Grange, a landscape and town planning firm where everyone works four days a week and gets paid for five. Women, working parents and the wider employee population are thriving at Tyler Grange and they’re very worthy winners of a Times Best Places to Work Award 2026. Hazel Murrells is Regional Ecology Director for the north and started as a senior ecologist back in 2016. She’s mum to two crazy boys – her words not mine – and came back from her second maternity leave a few years ago.  Lucie Waldron is the People and Culture Lead at TG, and her role covers the full HR function from policy and procedure to the wider employee experience. She’s been with the business for two years and it’s clear that both of them love being part of such a purpose-driven, forwarding thinking and caring company.  If COMEBACK COACH has helped you, please leave a review on Apple, Instagram or LinkedIn - you'll be in with a chance to win coaching or a masterclass for your organisation if you do it before the end of 2026.
