Part-time Work

Considerations
The role of supervisors

Supervisors play an important role in the dynamics between part-time employees and their co-workers. Therefore, the organisation should also look into training in work-life effectiveness for the supervisors of part-time employees.

Communication

Regular communication is essential to ensure the working dynamics between part-time employees and their co-workers is positive.  Therefore, department meetings should be scheduled on days where the part-time employee can be present.  In addition, the employee and supervisor should discuss how often they will meet to monitor the part-time arrangement.
