Balancing It All (Job Sharing) with Nicole Linton & Kym Korbel

Wed, 20 Apr 2022 05:34:07 GMT

Do you want an alternative to full-time work but without giving up the role that you love? Here's an episode you'll love.

Faced with the ambition to keep their substantial role whilst also juggling a family, Nic & Kym didn't want to compromise on job satisfaction. Instead, they entered into a job-share arrangement where they, literally, share the one full-time role. They each work 3 days per week and alternate their days so that the full-time role they share still gets delivered whilst they are away from the office. In this episode we explore how this arrangement works for them, for those around them and the benefits to Metcash.

And if you're a leader looking for alternative ways to support your team, this flexible arrangement may be one you want to encourage!
