I believe that any government promotion of family-friendly working practices such as jobshare, flexitime, home working or term time-only working must take this into account.
We continue to believe that jobshare can provide a number of potential long-term benefits to participants.
A bigger organisation can cope with that, again, allowing back-up and jobshare, but the smaller companies might have problems if the level were extended below 20 people.
