Jobshare Stories

Episode 23 - Promoting good work through the power of jobsharing - featuring Rowan Aust and Michelle Reynolds from Reeltime Media

Rowan Aust and Michelle Reynolds are determined to change the TV industry. In this episode we talk about how ReelTime Media researches and creates "good work" - that pays well and contributes to worker wellbeing as well as organisational outcomes. Jobsharing is a core part of this and at ReelTime Media, they're innovating in collaboration with ScreenSkills to create jobsharing partnership to transform how work is done right across the TV industry.

But this episode goes even deeper, exploring the world of work and how jobsharing can create a world of increased attentiveness and care for employees. 

Episode 22: Jobsharing to thrive in high pressured, intensive roles with Suzy McCormick and Kulsoom Ali - UK Health Security Agency

Kulsoom Ali and Suzy McCormick jobshare the role of Head of Talent and Inclusion in the UK Health Security Agency.   Their partnership came together in one of the most intensive periods of recent history - the start of the Covid pandemic, as they were asked to work on the NHS Test and Trace programme.

Their story shows the true benefit of jobsharing in senior, demanding, pressurised roles where you are facing unprecedented decision making and the need for really high levels of resilience.

Episode 21 : International Women's Day Special.

In this special one off episode, Laura and Chloe come together to deep dive and lift the lid on the state of play on gender equity in the UK in 2025 and try to answer the question - Do we still need International Women's Day.
This brilliant episode dives into the facts of where we are today on gender equity in the UK, breaks down what the gender pay gap is and why it still matters, highlights key barriers still in play for women in today's society and most importantly talks about how we can start to fix the system and not the women!

A perfect episode if you want to understand what gender equity is.
