Ciara Garvan, founder of recruitment platform WorkJuggle, tells us why she started her business and why so many workers are now seeking flexibility.
Employers are increasingly having to respond to workers’ needs for open-ended working hours and practices and one female-led start-up is at the forefront of this kind of recruitment in Ireland.
“Sometimes when people start they say ‘I have to go to the dentist at 11 on Thursday’ and it’s like, I don’t need to know that because I can’t keep track of my own dental appointments, not to mind yours! “It’s funny. A woman will say, ‘I want to work from home’; a man will say, ‘I want to work remotely’.
There is still a certain amount of begrudgery in some companies around people taking leave for their families, she acknowledges, but leaving parents out of the workforce altogether is to the detriment of employers and companies.
