FOREWORD Private sector employers have expressed a need for prac tical, concrete information to determine the viability of work sharing as a way of meeting the changing goals and objec tives of the organization and its employees. Work Sharing Case Studies responds to that need by presenting 36 cases in which the various forms of work sharing have been adopted. Work sharing approaches described in the case studies represent a broad range of organizations from Fortune 500 companies to small, family-owned firms. They were design ed to meet a variety of specific corporate needs: to avoid lay offs, adjust to skill shortages, prevent employee burnout, adapt to changes in the workforce, achieve production flex ibility, and recruit and retain valued employees. The infor mation should be of value to business, union, and govern ment officials in understanding the legislative and public policy implications of work sharing. Facts and observations as presented in this monograph are the sole responsibility of the authors. Their viewpoints do not necessarily represent positions of the W.E. Upjohn In stitute for Employment Research. E. Earl Wright Director Kalamazoo,

One segment of alternative work arrangements is schedule flexibility. The three types of flexible schedules examined include: job sharing, compressed workweeks, and flextime. Each arrangement will be examined individually. First, a definition and background information will be given. Then, the benefits of the arrangement will be discussed. Next, the risks and challenges of the arrangement will be examined. Finally, there will be analysis of what conditions are necessary for the arrangement to be successful. ALTERNATIVE WORK ARRANGEMENTS 4 Alternative Work Arrangements An Examination of Job Sharing, Compressed Workweeks, and Flextime In recent years, as businesses have become more focused on employee needs and their own productivity, alternative work arrangements have grown in popularity. Alternative work arrangements, sometimes known as flexible work arrangements or alternative work schedules, can be explained as any work arrangement that deviates from the standard workweek. To gain a full understanding of alternative work arrangements, an understanding of the standard workweek and its history must first be established.

  • What Is Job-Sharing?
    International Labour Office Geneva Work-sharing and job-sharing What is work-sharing? ork-sharing is a reduction of working time intended to spread a given volume W of work over a larger number of workers in order to avoid layoffs or increase employment. The decrease in working hours is mostly coupled with cuts in wages and benefits, which, in turn, may be partially compensated by government wage subsidies or often social benefits (e.g. unemployment compensation). The extent of the reduction in workers’ wages and benefits may or may not be proportional to the extent of the reduction in working hours. What is job-sharing? ob-sharing, by contrast, refers to a voluntary arrangement whereby two persons take J joint responsibility for one full-time job and divide the time they spend on it according to specific arrangements made with the employer. A common form of job-sharing is to split one full-time job into two part-time jobs (for more information about part-time jobs, see Information Sheet No. WT-4 on part-time work). Unlike work-sharing, job-sharing is generally not used as a measure to avoid layoffs or increase employment. How are work-sharing and job-sharing constrained or promoted? any countries facilitate work-sharing as a labour market policy tool aimed at M preserving existing jobs or creating new ones. In the framework of national work- sharing programmes, firms can receive benefits when they refrain from the use of layoffs, and instead “share” the (lower) amount of available work by reducing working hours per employee, although typically the hours worked per employee are not reduced to part-time levels.

With one-third of its working population holding part-time positions, Switzerland is virtually the European record-holder where part-time work is concerned, just after the Netherlands. Yet despite the fact that part-time positions help provide work-life balance, these jobs have a number of disadvantages. For example, part-time positions are not typically advertised, but rather granted at the specific request of the employees. Part-time work is rarely offered for positions with a high-level of responsibility, makes it difficult for a part-time employee to change jobs even within the company and hinders the employer’s abililty to ensure coverage at the workplace every day of the week.

  • Civil Service Guide to Job-Sharing Practical Advice for Job-Sharers, Their Managers and Their Teams
    Civil Service guide to job-sharing Practical advice for job-sharers, their managers and their teams 0 Introduction When job-sharing works well, it works very well, and brings lots of advantages, both for individuals and for their departments. Job-sharers can get the balance they want between work and the rest of their lives, and still take on a job with the full range of responsibilities. For the Civil Service, job-sharing (among the range of flexible working options) allows us to hold on to, and make the most of, staff skills and experiences. For managers and teams, job-sharing brings the advantage of two sets of skills, experience and ideas to any one post. At the same time, if you’re thinking about job-sharing, or, as a manager, taking on job-sharers in your team, you need to be aware of the potential challenges and manage them proactively. The key to successful job-sharing is good and clear communication structures, both with one another and with all colleagues and stakeholders. Having two sets of skills and ideas is a real strength of job-sharing; but job- sharers need to work hard behind the scenes to give their colleagues a clear and consistent approach. Every job-share partnership is different, and depending on the work you do, your particular working styles, and the needs of your colleagues, you’ll need to decide your way of making it work. The suggestions in this report are designed to help you do that. Many employees working in the Civil Service have made a success of job- sharing.
