Why job-sharing should be more prevalent in the workplace with Will McDonald and Edward Haigh

The Equality Conversation podcast with bestselling author Joy Burnford explores what we can all do to champion gender equality at work. Each episode offers inspiration, stories and practical solutions from business leaders and experts from around the world. Achieving gender balance at work isn’t about fixing the women, it’s about changing the system to enable the retention and progression of women in the workplace. So, if you’re looking for insights, guidance or advice on how to improve gender equality in your organisation, grab a cuppa, go for a walk, or escape for a while and join us for today’s conversation.

Today I’m excited to welcome Will McDonald, a job-sharing expert and consultant who works with me on our programmes. Will was previously in the only male senior job-share in the UK as Group Sustainability and Public Policy Director at Aviva and now uses his experience to help other organisations successfully implement job sharing. We’re also joined by my colleague Edward Haigh, who is Strategy Director at Encompass Equality.
