As the year draws to a close, we’ve been reflecting on what 2024 has brought for us all SpareMyTime. It’s been a year of bold decisions, tough lessons and moments of pure joy - the kind of year that we'll look back on as transformative. From the incredible experience of Goldman Sachs’ 10,000 Small Businesses program to redefining our brand and preparing for the launch of new services, 2024 has been nothing short of a whirlwind. But let’s be honest - growth isn’t always easy. Some days, it felt like navigating a storm, balancing the demands of building a business while staying true to our purpose. And yet, those moments taught us the most. They brought clarity (often on what not to do!), focus and a renewed excitement for what’s to come. Melissa Gauge shares her reflections on this year in our latest blog post. Read about the highs and the lows and how she’s stepping into 2025 with purpose and optimism here 👇 https://lnkd.in/gqqrG4K2

Fewer than 20% of new mothers return to full-time work within three years of maternity leave, and that figure drops to 15% after five years. Even more concerning, 17% leave employment entirely within five years of childbirth! These aren’t just numbers, they’re a call to action. Outdated workplace structures are forcing talented, capable women out of the workforce, and businesses are missing out on incredible potential. At SpareMyTime, we know there’s a better way. We believe in building a future where work works for everyone. True flexibility isn't an easy change from the traditional 9-5 model. But it gives our clients access to more talent and expertise. How can businesses better support working mothers and retain their invaluable expertise? We'd love to hear your thoughts 👇 #SpareMyTime #FlexibleWorking #FractionalTeams #Professional

We’re thrilled to share that our very own Melissa Gauge is featured in Startups Magazine, diving into one of our favourite topics: fractional working.    In a time when the cost and risk of employment are climbing, thanks to the recent budget announcements on employer National Insurance contributions, the rise in the National Living Wage, and Labour's Employment Rights Bill, fractional support is becoming more relevant than ever. At SpareMyTime, we’re redefining how businesses access agile expertise and capacity.   Businesses are feeling the pinch and searching for smarter, more efficient solutions to drive growth without compromising on quality. That’s where fractional working steps in: - Reduce costs without losing access to top-tier talent. - Increase efficiency with flexible, scalable support. - Stay agile in a fast-changing world. This isn’t about outsourcing abroad. It’s about thinking differently, thinking fractionally, and tapping into the wealth of incredible expertise available right here in the UK.   We’re excited to see this conversation gaining momentum at such a critical time for businesses. It’s time to work smarter, not harder!   What are your thoughts on fractional working? Have you considered it yet? Get in touch today to talk about how it can transform your business. #FractionalTeams #StartupsMagazine #Startups #Entrepreneur #FractionalWorking #BusinessGrowth #SpareMyTime
