2. What is Job Sharing?
Answer: Job sharing is when 2 people share a job typically held by 1 person. It is an ideal solution when full-time coverage is required as well as a great retention tool. We have helped many companies hold on to key people who wanted to go part-time by finding a suitable partner for them. Job sharing also enables management to staff for the 24/7 global workplace. Two people energize the position with their talents and experience, creating a whole greater than the sum of its parts.

3. What are some new job-share options?
Answer: Here are just a few examples of job-share partnerships developed by Flexible Resources, Inc®:
• Skill sets - A team composed of two people, each of whom offer skills and experience in different but complementary areas. Together they meet every expectation and fill all roles of the position, creating the most complete package. One example - a good people manager teamed with a behind-the-scenes numbers cruncher.
• Mentor-subordinate - A team with a superior and a subordinate, each of whom exclusively handles the tasks to which their skills and experience are better suited. This way, the superior isn’t bogged down by lower-level tasks and is free to strategize and manage. And management only pays for each team member to do the job they're best suited for. This is perhaps the most cost-effective job share. It’s also an ideal mentoring relationship, in which the subordinate is trained to take over when the superior is promoted.
• Geographic shares - The best way to ensure complete regional coverage, or to staff across various time zones is to assign tasks based on territory. Two or even three people can cover the world with an energy and focus not possible by one individual. The team needn’t even work in the same office.
