Jobshare Stories – Details, episodes & analysis

Karen Hutchinson and Francesca Berry are Partners in the Commercial Litigation department at Stewarts.  After coming together as a pair on a trial basis over 8 years ago, they have since been promoted twice as a pair, firstly to Legal Directors and then to Partners.

In this episode, they talk about the process of applying for partnership together, why their clients are overwhelmingly positive about their jobshare arrangement and how jobsharing has been a gamechanger for them both - giving them the ability to separate and prioritise their work and personal lives.

Rowan Aust and Michelle Reynolds are determined to change the TV industry. In this episode we talk about how ReelTime Media researches and creates "good work" - that pays well and contributes to worker wellbeing as well as organisational outcomes. Jobsharing is a core part of this and at ReelTime Media, they're innovating in collaboration with ScreenSkills to create jobsharing partnership to transform how work is done right across the TV industry.

But this episode goes even deeper, exploring the world of work and how jobsharing can create a world of increased attentiveness and care for employees. 

Episode 14. Jobsharing for men: an International Mens' Day Special with Will McDonald,

Will McDonald was one half of a pioneering all male jobshare at Aviva - alongside Sam White. Together they shared the role of Group Sustainability and Public Policy Director and demonstrated the power of jobsharing for all genders. Often we think jobsharing is for mums, but Sam and Will absolutely smashed this myth.

in this podcast, we cover the power of their partnership, how jobsharing can enable big jobs to be done on a part-time basis and some of the challenges of working 3 days during the week and being "Dad" the other four.
