What is Hexitime?
Hexitime is a virtual time-banking website that allows individuals to exchange, discuss and discover knowledge, skills and ideas for personal, professional and service improvements.
What’s a timebank?
Timebanks are like virtual currency based on reciprocity, i.e. giving and taking – So, on Hexitime you can offer and give an hour of your time to help others with a subject or skill that you are familiar with, after which you’ll receive one hour of credit with which you can contact someone on the platform who is offering an area of knowledge or expertise on a subject that you would like to learn more about.
Why Hexitime?
The lived experience of NHS global majority staff, and the WRES data, tells us that access to development and career opportunities is not always equal, overt or encouraged.
