#BEYOUATWORK
The workplace is changing rapidly, becoming more diverse, inclusive and authentic.
Many people try to blend into their work environment at the expense of exposing
their real self. Being authentic at work requires real self-awareness but if achieved,
can be the real differentiator for living a happy and healthy work life. Read inspiring
interviews we had with female role models at Hays, and find out how they are
