Professor Clare Kelliher, Chair in Work and Organisation, Dr Charlotte Gascoigne, Principal Research Fellow and Pierre Walthery, Research Fellow, Cranfield School of Management discussed "Part-time working after the pandemic" in the online webinar on Thursday 31 March 2022. In this webinar the panel focused on what led line managers to change their minds about the feasibility of part-time working, how they have dealt with gaps in service, and managed workload with available resources. They also considered how this decision-making related to decisions made in response to employee requests to work part-time.
