You are not yet convinced and need more arguments for part-time work? No problem, we have five reasons why you should work on a reduced schedule.
Teamwork makes the dream work
Parenting is in itself a full-time job. The little ones need your attention around the clock. That can quickly become too much for you alone. However, if both parents have a part-time job, you can take turns taking care of private responsibilities. Neither of them has to do without work or child-rearing.
Learn new skills
A part-time job means a lot of organization as well as flexibility. So it’s the perfect opportunity to acquire new skills. In addition, the ability to communicate is also increased. Consultation with your colleagues is even more important when you work part-time.
Time to learn new things
We never stop learning. Regardless of the reason for reducing your workload: there is always time to study. Invest your new free time in further training. Not only specialist knowledge is required, but our soft skills are also just as essential.
Better for your health
When was the last time you really relaxed? Part-time work is good for your health. Everyday work is often characterized by stress. In addition to your family obligations, you can also invest the newly gained time in your health.
More time for the family
The relationship between child and parent can be strengthened through a part-time job. In addition, you save the costs of a daycare center or childminder.
