Ep 13 - Working part-time in recruitment - leadership lessons on promoting flexible working

Guest speaker: • Tessa Hollingworth, Managing Director - Northwest Region, Hays "The light bulb moment was I don't need to apologise, I need to prioritise, I need to delegate, and I need to communicate." Tessa Hollingworth takes us through her recruitment career and her shift to working part-time as one of the senior directors at Hays. Part-time working is no longer a taboo and by integrating factors such as high trust, good communication and positive delegation, it is possible to succeed in a part-time role. In this episode, you'll hear Tessa and Neil discuss: • Working part-time in recruitment – making it work for you • How to be a successful role model for part time working • How leaders can instil trust in their teams to work flexibly • Why employers need to be offering better part-time or flexible opportunities in a challenging labour market
