LISTEN This week’s episode of Bricks & Mortar sees EG’s Sarah Jackman discuss job sharing with Shoosmiths partners Lisa Tye and Kathryn Jump, who, together, run the firm’s planning department. The pair attribute their success to their job share, which has been running for 15 years and has seen them move job as a pair three times.
They discuss the motivation behind their job share, how it has evolved over the years and why, despite the post-pandemic move towards flexible working, job sharing remains underutilised.
They walk listeners through the benefits, dispel the perceived negatives and suggest how anyone interested in pursuing job sharing might go about approaching it.
