Job Sharing is a flexible work arrangement where two or more employees share the responsibilities of a single full-time position. Each participant works part-time, dividing the hours and duties associated with the role. This arrangement allows employees to balance work with other commitments, such as family or personal interests, while ensuring the organization maintains coverage for the position.
For example, in a job-sharing arrangement, two individuals might each work 20 hours a week to cover a 40-hour full-time job. They would coordinate their schedules and communicate regularly to ensure that all tasks are managed efficiently and deadlines are met. Job sharing can enhance work-life balance, increase job satisfaction, and retain skilled employees who might otherwise leave the workforce.
