Job Sharing Models
A Job Split allows for full autonomy of the two job mates. In effect, it represents just two part-time jobs. As an example, two dental hygienists may be covering a full-time position at a dentist’s office, working completely independent of each other.
A Hybrid Job Share provides a model where the two job mates share some responsibilities and split others. This model may be more suitable for management and leadership roles where complementary skills will be essential in successfully filling in the position. As an example, two leaders, one with technology background and another with strong business background can be paired to run a business together.
A Pure Job Share represents two people essentially doing the same job over different hours of the day or days of the week. They are interchangeable. As an example, two software developers can share a full-time position, each working on the same project and the same deliverables.
Testimonials
Job-sharing is a brilliant solution to a problem most of us don’t even know we have. Just like we did not know we needed the power of the PC in the palms of our hands.
How do I know? I job-shared over two decades ago when my 2nd child was born. I was overwhelmed with the responsibilities of work, caring for the kids and running a household. There just weren’t enough hours in a day to get everything done. The “easy” solution would have been to quit my job. Luckily a co-worker was dealing with the exact same challenges, so we came up with the idea, put a proposal together to “share” her job and her manager agreed to give it a try.
There are countless benefits to job-sharing, the greatest of which being that it allowed me to do what is expected of super-moms and without sinking: balancing a career with motherhood and everything else that comes with it. My friends often asked me how I did it? Well, job-sharing was a big part of what made it possible. In addition, society overall enjoys an array of benefits when a greater percentage is engaged in part-time work.
How do you convince a manager to let you “share” the job? Clearly articulate the value and deliver on it.
As I contemplate retirement, I am once again thinking a blend of work and life would be the right balance for me. Job-sharing would allow me to stay intellectually engaged while having more time to play (YAY!). So here I am, hoping to use this platform to find my next job-sharing adventure.

Job sharing in an arrangement when a full-time job split between two individuals, each with responsibility for the success of the total job. This allows the individual to find a balance with other areas of their life.
