How it works.
Unlocking the jobshare superpower.

We're witnessing a desire for greater workplace flexibility to mirror broader societal changes across all sectors, from academia to finance, retail, IT and healthcare. Legislation and institutional policies increasingly emphasise inclusivity, recognising the undeniable positive impacts. Organisations that embrace this trend experience reduced absenteeism, improved retention rates, and better alignment of skills with complex roles.  

An effective strategy for attracting and preserving talent highlights and celebrates practices and policies that resonate with workers. 

If successfully implemented, Jobsharing is an underused tool that can significantly boost productivity, talent attraction, retention, and staff satisfaction and wellbeing. Moreover, it can play a crucial role in closing the gender pay gap and addressing equality, diversity, and inclusion priorities, offering a promising future for your organisation. 

 

You have a unique opportunity to lead the way in driving best practices and cultural change. By unlocking the power of jobsharing, you can create thriving careers, amplify cross-organisation opportunities, and enhance talent matching and staff mobility, significantly impacting your organisation's success. 

Jobshare Works is committed to ensuring that jobshare partnerships are not just established but forged with solid foundations to thrive. With our support and guidance, you can be confident in the success of your jobshare partnerships.  

 

What are the challenges?

Changing workforce expectations.

Employee preferences are evolving, as are the expectations of future generations. Increased flexibility in the workplace is critical to unlocking balance and opportunities for individuals and organisations.  

Talent attraction and retention.

Sustaining a high-performing workforce is increasingly competitive, not to mention expensive to manage turnover and re-training. Organisations capitalising on flexible working can step up retention and drive down absenteeism. 

Skills matching.
 

Role design requires greater flexibility to accommodate increasingly complex roles and to capitalise on diverse skills in new ways. 

Achieving competitive advantage.

Values-led organisations that demonstrate positive action achieve significant competitive advantage, gaining greater brand recognition and success. 

Equality, diversity and inclusion.
 

In addition to meeting legislative benchmarks, employers who embrace flexibility attract a more comprehensive range of qualified candidates and benefit from diverse perspectives and skill sets, ultimately leading to enriched innovation and productivity.
