The Corporate Counsel Show: How and why we work as co-GCs
Listen now
Description
Job-sharing in law is not common. However, for the co-general counsel of Wesley Mission Queensland, working in tandem brings myriad personal and professional benefits. In this episode of The Corporate Counsel Show, host Jerome Doraisamy speaks with the co-general counsel of Wesley Mission Queensland, Tala Prowd and Helena Kolenbet, about how their job-sharing arrangement came to be, why such an arrangement makes so much sense for them both (personally and professionally, the operational practicalities of job-sharing, and how they successfully navigate the needs of their organisation with key stakeholders. Prowd and Kolenbet also reflect on the rarity of job-sharing arrangements in the legal profession, how and why legal employers must be more open to such vocational pathways (for men and women alike), how other lawyers – in-house and beyond – can and should be unafraid to ask for such flexible arrangements if circumstances require it, and how both employee and employer will benefit from thinking and operating outside the box.
