The new world of work – how flexible and part-time working are becoming the norm

Are you a SME intrigued to learn more about how to harness the right talent for growth? Come along to a Cambridge Network breakfast networking event next month with Sara Hill, founder of Capability Jane and the Job Share Project.

 

On Thursday April 28th (8 - 10am), Sara will be providing expert insights into how organisations can adapt and innovate in line with the new world of flexible and part-time work to secure the talent to fuel growth and enable competitive advantage.

When management consultant Sara Hill found herself up against the rigid, inflexible approach to how work gets done in big corporations she decided to set up a business to solve this. Sara will talk about how the world of work is changing, demographic factors, lifestyle and caring priorities are changing how people want to engage with their careers and how flexible and part-time working is becoming the norm. She will share her personal journey that led her to set up her business and how innovative organisations are re-thinking the way in which work gets done to enable them to compete for talent in today’s competitive marketplace. 

Sara will be joining Cambridge Network at  the Hauser Forum (3 Charles Babbage Road, Cambridge, CB3 0GT) to speak on the war for talent, the changing demographics and the new world of work, with the message that the organisations who adapt and innovate in line with the new world of work, will be the ones who secure the talent to fuel growth and enable competitive advantage. 

Sara will be joined by Craig Seed, Principal Consultant in the Technology Innovation Team at PA Consulting who will provide a case-study based on his flexible term-time working.
