Episode 24: Job Sharing

When most people think of the concept of “job sharing,” they think about two women, both on the “mommy track,” who want to work part-time, so they find an employer who is willing to allow them to “share” a single job. While there still are instances of that “mommy track” type of “job sharing,” today’s employers are being much more “forward thinking” about how “job sharing” can truly enhance their workplace. From using “job sharing” as a way to meet legal accommodation requirements under the Americans with Disabilities Act to using “job sharing” to bridge the knowledge and experience gap often created when senior executives retire, employers today are using “job sharing” in very creative ways. In this Helpcast, Host Helene Wasserman of Littler Mendelson, P.C. explores these creative ideas with job sharing expert Kelly Watson, Founder and President of The Career Partners.
