Does Job Sharing Really work?

Considering job sharing in your current role or as a work option for your next job? Part Time Online firmly believe that job sharing can be an extremely effective and fulfilling employment option for individuals and organisations where a full time outcome needs to be achieved. Whilst it is still largely understated and underutilised in the corporate environment, we come across informal success stories on a daily basis. Some success stories of jobs sharing and other innovative flexible work arrangements are captured on our site.

Read also Carolyn Boyd's article recently published by CPA Australia exploring the notion of job sharing and it's success factors.
