Ep16: Working Part-Time in a Senior Role with Lee Clements
Episode 16
Saturday, 21 August, 2021
Today we are talking to Lee Clements who is Head of Sustainable Investment Solutions at FTSE Russell, a part of London Stock Exchange Group. Three years ago Lee reduced his working week to 3 ½ days to have the time to provide help for his daughter, who is severely disabled, and to support his own mental health. In this episode we talk to Lee about his path to a part time role, the challenges associated with it such as work creep and scheduling stress, and the benefits for him and the business. Lee encourages honest and adult conversations with line managers and colleagues and has advice on how to lose the stigma associated with part time work. Lee is on the 2021 Timewise Power List which celebrates senior, successful part-time employees and organisations, with an innovative approach to flexible working.
