Evidence has shown that part-time workers can outperform full-time workers. So why is it that they often feel stigmatized or second-tier within their organization? And what can leaders and managers do to challenge this?
This week on The Good Practice Podcast, Nicola Boyle and Lucy Bishop are joined by Nikki Slowey and Lisa Gallagher from Flexibility Works.
We discuss:
How to challenge the stigma of part-time work How to effectively manage part-time staff How to go part-time and job-share in senior rolesShow notes
