More and more businesses are finding that some of their top talent want more flexibility at
work. You certainly don’t want to lose any of your best people. However, actually implementing
that flexible working can be tricky. That’s where we come in.
We improve your talent retention and significantly reduce your cost of recruitment and re-training.
We can:
- Run training for your HR teams or line managers. We’ll show them how to set up job-sharing as a solution to the request for a shorter working week.
- Share our considerable knowledge with you about the ways to find the perfect job-share partner for your employee from your existing workforce. You can see our Power of Two training outline here.
- Find the perfect job-share partner for your employee from our candidate pool. We can also do all the preparation and consultation necessary with line managers, teams and peers to make sure the job-share gets off to a flying start. See the business case for job-sharing here.
- Run a job-sharing pilot in a specific department of your firm. This is usually 3 or 6 months long. We will help you put together job-share pairs among your existing employees. We also coach and support the line managers and teams who work with the job-sharers. This provides the company with its own case studies and allows you to evaluate if job-sharing works in your culture.
- Find you candidates for maternity or sabbatical cover
Trying it out has never been easier. Why? Because we take the risk. Our fees only apply if we successfully place a job-share partner with your employee. It’s about a whole lot more than getting to know that employee’s skills, strengths and weaknesses. We also help you structure the role à deux, and we’ll help ensure buy-in from the rest of the business.
