How does the company benefit?
Jobsharing can draw on an untapped pool of highly trained and motivated professionals who have chosen to raise a family, go back to college, or retire, yet want to work part-time. Many companies have discovered that jobsharing can improve efficiency, enlarge the potential labor market available to them, and improve job opportunities for people with domestic or caring responsibilities. Not only does JobSharing benefit the company internally, but it also allows the company to appeal to the public audience's concerns and needs.
How does JobSharing work for us?
JobSharing can work many different ways for different situations. The salary and benefits of the JobSharing team should only cost the company what one single full-time employee would cost if working within the normal constraints of one 40 hour week. JobSharing does not necessarily mean sharing the same full-time position, but can mean doing two completely different jobs, with both JobShare employees still working a total of 40 hours, or equaling one full-time position in salary and benefits. JobSharing can, however, amount to the work of a single employee committing to a 60 hour workweek. This extended week would normally result in expensive over-time, but by JobSharing two 30 hour employees for the same position, your company benefits financially and increases efficiency by increasing the morale of employees and not over-working any single employee. The situation of the JobShare depends on the job details and the employer and employee needs and should be tailored accordingly. If approached properly, JobSharing can greatly benefit both the company and its employees alike.
