Kiwi Company Builds Its Business Around the School Bell
Published
A New Zealand technology company called Skool Loop has built its business around a unique, family-friendly way of employing people. The company's workforce is made up of about 90 percent mothers, and its working model is designed to fit around school hours.
The company has chosen this approach to give parents, especially mums, a chance to work in a flexible job. Many parents in New Zealand find it difficult to balance work with school timetables, so a model that works around the school bell can be very helpful. Because the workforce is mostly mothers, the business has become known for its family-friendly approach.
Skool Loop shows that a technology business can grow while offering flexible hours and supporting people with caring responsibilities. Its story has been reported by Idealog, a New Zealand business and innovation publication, which highlights the company as an example of a different way of working.
For readers in New Zealand, the story offers an example of how flexible employment can work in practice. The company's success may encourage other businesses to think about how they can better support working parents.
