In this month’s Best Practice Forum, we’ll explore how organisations are adapting recruitment and induction practices to better support part-time employees. While some companies continue to run full-time inductions regardless of contract type, others are rethinking how they welcome, train, and integrate part-time team members in a way that reflects their availability, needs, and contribution.

This session will examine the different journeys organisations are on—what’s working, what’s not, and where opportunities lie to create a more inclusive and effective experience from day one. We’ll discuss insights on balancing operational needs with a personalised onboarding approach, and how to make sure part-time colleagues feel equally prepared and valued.
 
Key discussion questions:
  • How are organisations adapting their inductions specifically for part-time colleagues?
  • Is there a benefit in designing different induction journeys for different categories of colleagues (e.g., student workers, returners, hybrid roles)?
  • What successes have organisations had in tailoring induction and training for part-time employees?
  • How do organisations attract different groups – what needs to change – students to those over 50?
  • Have organisations seen improved engagement or performance as a result of personalised onboarding?
  • What lessons have been learned when transitioning from full-time to more flexible induction models?
  •  
  • The topic and agenda for this session will be confirmed in due course.
