What are the benefits of part-time employment to a business

organization or company?

A part-time employment is one in which employees are required to work

less hours than would be deemed full-time by their employer. Employees may
work no more than 35 hours each week. Students, parents, retirees, and other
workers who do not want or require the time commitment of a full-time position
are part-time workers.

Employing part-time workers has a number of potential business

benefits, including: keeping costs down in areas where you don't yet require
full-time coverage; increasing recruitment and retention of staff by providing
family-friendly working practices; demonstrating to potential clients and
customers that you value having a diverse workforce and ethical employment
practices; and allowing you to bring in highly skilled and experienced staff
members even when you don't require full-time coverage; Part-time work
attracts parents with younger children and elderly persons who may not wish to
work full-time but may provide a multitude of skills, experience, and
expertise; increasing your business's ability to respond to change and peaks in
demand - for example, by using part-time workers in the evenings or on
weekends, you can use more workers at peak times and extend your operating
hours; helping to reduce the workloads of other workers, eg when you don't
have enough work for a new full-time position but are regularly using overtime
to meet demands - this can reduce overtime costs and help prevent the negative
effects of stress.

Because they work less, part-time employees, particularly those who

work more briefly or seasonally, have less expertise and familiarity with the
organization. This may have an impact on employee task and service
performance. Part-time employees may not become as familiar with techniques
to selling and serving the demands of the company's clients, therefore
customer-driven firms may observe less successful sales and service. These
problems can be mitigated by training. Part-time employees, on the other hand,
may take longer to obtain experience than full-time employees.
