Many small to medium sized businesses have part-time team members. Having part-time staff can be great for the business as it helps to get regular tasks done … but it can also be one of the most challenging work configurations for a manager to manage.
For starters, the person is not there all of the time. That means that they miss all of the incidental side discussion and additional task allocation that happens when a person is physically present. You know the sort of conversation … “Oh Bob, while I am thinking about it, can you …” This can limit the part-time team member’s professional and personal development as they tend to get stuck with routine tasks that are easily completed within set timeframes.
