Roundtable: Job Sharing, If Two Heads Are Better Than One, How Can the Sector Lead the Way in Flexible Working to Support Equality, Diversity & Inclusion, Talent Retention and Personal and Organisational Growth?
12:30 PM - 1:30 PM UK Time
Speaker(s): Cathy Sinclair, Co-Director Student Recruitment and Admissions, Sheffield Hallam University, Carol Castle, Co-Director of Student Recruitment and Admissions, Sheffield Hallam University
How can job sharing unlock the staff recruitment, retention, and equality challenges in your organisation? The demand for flexible and part time working continues to increase, yet only 0.3% of workers job share.
This session will draw on our lived experience of a six-year job-sharing journey, and that of collaborative learning and reflection undertaken across our institution, whilst drawing on the perspectives and insights of participants, to create and share best practice and practical tools to demystify and support effective job sharing.
Advancement could be a beacon of flexible working opportunities if we can collectively create a forum for collective action and share our learning across the sector.
