The start of a new year marks a list full of “newness” synonyms and resolutions alike. Yesteryear is no more, a new beginning is marked with the chimes at midnight. We wave goodbye to the past and welcome a new future with glee and gusto. We spent the last quarter of the previous year contemplating, dreaming and declaring ‘next year will be different’. Onward we march come 1st January.
Many people approach the New Year in the same way when it comes to their careers. Whether it’s applying for an internal position, a career change or even a job share.
A job-share essentially means one job divided by two workers. The advantages are numerous for the employer, for example the post is covered on a full-time basis by two workers who are matched in skill set and qualification. For the employee, a job share can alleviate the stress with childcare options, which is often found for traditional, full time, 9-5 workers.
A job-share is not just for working parents. Having the security of a job-share provides the flexibility toward a more even work-life balance, which is highly sought after in the recent years. The stress of the daily grind and the daily commute has often left us frazzled and out of touch with what we love the most. Having a job-share means we make time for ourselves and do the things we love.
