Job Sharing Success Factors

To make job sharing succeed, the following issues need to be considered:

• Proper Pairing
• Nature of the Job
• Communication

• Adequate Coverage and Appropriate Schedules
• Development Opportunities

If job sharers are allowed to trade time with one another, they can provide better coverage for a position than one full-time employee can. If they have significantly different skills and experience, they can cross train one another, leading to expanded skills for both.
