| Macho men shun part-time jobs - Adelaidenow Posted: 05 Apr 2010 07:40 AM PDT MEN wanting to switch from full-time to part-time work are afraid they will miss out on promotions or be seen as a "girl", a new national workplace group says. The 100% Project is researching male roles in the workplace as part of its program to improve leadership opportunities for all workers. Board chair Frances Feenstra said men had the same opportunity as women to change to part-time work but most did not take it. "Many organisations have great policies around part-time work . . . but within these organisations, people see that those opportunities are there for people, generally women, who have children," Ms Feenstra said. "Men don't like speaking up. "They don't want to be perceived as being a team player or as being a girl. But because they don't talk about it, they don't know how many other men want it as well." Ms Feenstra said surveys had found 68 per cent of fathers believed they did not spend enough time at home and 60 per cent believed their jobs made them miss out on some of the most rewarding parts of being a parent. But she said the 100% Project's national research found 78 per cent of men and 84 per cent of women believed a part-time worker had fewer chances at a promotion. It also found 60 per cent of senior leaders believed a worker's promotional opportunities would be affected if they worked part time, mostly because a part-time position would not fit the requirements of a senior role. "People say it will all be different with the new generations coming through, but we've been waiting for it to happen in the past 50 years and it hasn't happened," Ms Feenstra said. "There's a perception, rightly or wrongly, that part-timers are not putting in the same and aren't around when you need them and they are not carrying the same load." But she said there were many industries in which a part-time worker would do equally complex work as a full-time worker or could complete as much work in a reduced time frame. SeeSaw Advertising director Rhys Sandery works reduced hours to spend more time with his two children. He takes Friday afternoons and Monday mornings off and would encourage his staff to change to part-time hours if they wanted more time with their children. "If I wasn't doing that, I'd be unhappy," he said. Mr Sandery has a mobile phone and computer at home, so can complete any urgent work away from the office. "I think it's a good thing that dads are looking after their kids more," Mr Sandery said. "I think that parenting should be an equal thing . . . and a parent shouldn't get preference for part-time because she's a woman." Five Filters featured article: Chilcot Inquiry.
