Here's another take on flexible working.... job shares
The potential for job sharing especially at a senior level is nowhere near optimised.
Post-pandemic, organisations moved towards fully remote and hybrid models but many are now calling their employees back to the office, totally bypassing the opportunities presented by job sharing
I first recorded this podcast with the marketing leads at Travelers Europe in 2021 during the latter part of Covid.
Paul Hudson the VP of Travelers Europe had been inspired by his own personal and professional experience to offer his new Head of Marketing role as a job share. In addition to advertising in the usual places, LinkedIn etc he also used Mumsnet and as a result he recruited 2 very different but equally progressive women into the role
In this conversation, all three share their experiences and challenges of making this work as Marketing leads but also for the wider team and organisation
This is a Success Strategy for women, its a perfect example of how bold moves and new approaches can set women up for success.
