After leaving a successful career as a Draftsperson to focus on becoming a mum, Leigh finally decided she was ready to re-enter the workforce. As much as she loved being available full-time for her children, she realised she needed to return to work.<\/p>\n
\u201cI want to show my children that both mum and dad are valuable contributors to the family,\u201d she said. \u201cGoing back to work benefits all of us, emotionally and financially.\u201d<\/p>\n
Like so many mums going back to work, Leigh needed a workplace that valued flexibility, and the productivity of part-time employees. However, she didn\u2019t know who to approach.<\/p>\n
Her husband saw my social media posts and suggested she get in touch with me to get the ball rolling. It didn\u2019t take long to learn about Leigh\u2019s requirements and achievements. I made a call to\u00a0one<\/em>\u00a0specific client, securing her an interview and the rest, as they say, is history. Leigh is now happily working for a progressive engineering consultancy that values her contribution to their team success.<\/p>\n In today\u2019s candidate-short market, we are finally starting to see an increase in the number of clients with a flexible workforce. These organisations are appreciating the productivity achieved by part-time staff \u00a0and are happily taking on more.<\/p>\nWorkplaces Changing<\/strong><\/h3>\n
