What are the benefits of offering part-time employment?

Part time employees can deliver a wide range of benefits to any organisation. Not only do they bring extra manpower, but can also be more motivated than their full-time counterparts.

If you’ve never thought about taking on part-time staff then here are just some of the reasons you might want to consider adding them to the mix in the future.

Adding expertise

Some part time workers might be those who’ve previously retired and decided it’s not for them, in which case they can bring valuable expertise to your business.

It’s a great opportunity for your other employees to learn from someone who knows the job well, potentially improving morale and productivity in the process.

Maintaining interest

There’s every chance that part time workers could be just what your business needs to stay fresh and upbeat.

They’re not as likely to be fed up with their role if they are doing fewer hours, therefore bringing some much needed optimism and vitality to your organisation.

Diversifying the workforce

Opening up part time positions gives you the opportunity to provide a wider range of candidates with the opportunity to work with you.

For example, you might be more likely to attract those who are making a return to work after maternity leave, or perhaps people who are self-employed and searching for some extra income security.

Talent retention

Giving the option of part time employment helps companies with their talent retention, as it gives workers a wider range of choices.

You might find that employees are more likely to return to your company after maternity leave or a period of absence if there is a part-time job waiting for them.

If you do decide to add part time workers to your company, HR consulting could be just what you need to make sure they’re integrated properly into your workforce.
