Job sharing

Job sharing allows two or more employees to split a traditional 40-hour-a-week job. Employee A might perform the job from 8 am to noon and employee B from 1 pm to 5 pm, or the two could work full, but alternate, days.
- Job sharing allows a firm to draw on the talents of more than one individual in a given job. But the major drawback from management's perspective is finding compatible pairs of workers who can successfully coordinate the intricacies of one job.
From the worker's perspective, job sharing increases flexibility and can increase motivation and satisfaction when a 40-hour-per-week job is not practical.
