Ours guests today Lydia Leipert and Rebecca Zöller share a senior role at a Bavarian broadcaster and have even been nicknamed “Lydecca” by their colleagues.
As they put it themselves - "between us we have 4 children, are 2 women and share 1 job".
Lydia and Rebecca share the story of how they found each other, why job sharing can work so fantastically and how you can convince your employer to support you in a job share.
We hope you enjoy the conversation.
