What Is Job Sharing? | HR Glossary | BambooHR
An arrangement where two part-time employees share the duties and hours of one full-time role.
Job sharing splits a single full-time position between two people, who each work part of the week and together cover the whole role. Responsibilities, hours and pay are divided between them.
It is a form of flexible working that helps retain valued staff who cannot or do not wish to work full time, and it can bring two sets of skills to one job.
Success depends on strong handovers, clear communication and compatible working styles, so the role feels seamless to colleagues and customers.
