Sarah Hammer and Mimi Su, senior marketing directors at Unilever, have employed a unique solution to combat work burnout by sharing one job. Working in alternate weeks, this arrangement allows both to pursue career ambitions while ensuring work-life balance. Although each receives 60% pay, they argue that their collaborative effort is more productive than a single individual. Job sharing, though still a rarity, is being increasingly explored by companies as a means to recruit and retain top talent.
  

Key Points: 

  1. Sarah and Mimi, from Unilever, alternate weeks on the job, enabling them to balance career with personal interests or family.
  2. Women’s workforce participation has stagnated since 1999, and job sharing could offer a solution to help both genders maintain a work-life balance.
  3. Companies, including Ford, are seeing the benefits of job sharing and are creating tools to connect potential job-sharing pairs.
  4. The pandemic has prompted companies to consider more flexible work arrangements to aid in recruitment and retention.
  5. Job sharing can be effective in numerous sectors, with benefits like continuous role coverage and combined years of experience.
