Alison, Head of HR, Allen & OveryI still think that when I shared my job was the time I performed best in my life.
Ellie Detective, London Metropolitan PoliceTwo people share the responsibilities, benefits, and salary of a full-time job. They alternate working days or weeks, have a proper handover, share tools and communications channels, and keep productivity going full time.
It should not. When people share jobs they are measured together, this is key as it creates unique 1:1 accountability, which in turn means managers can be more hands off day to day. Managers also gain by retaining direct reports at risk of leaving or attracting untapped talent who together bring greater continuity and more experience on their team.

Good motivation and opportunity to grow and improve then, no? It all starts with the right match and a solid plan. That’s where Roleshare comes in. According to research we conducted when people share jobs they perform at their individual best - there is also a 30% productivity gain. The extra care around communication, tracking, and handover, drives more accountability. Additionally, our research suggests there is a natural coaching and upskilling benefit built into job share. More real-time feedback within the pair drives regular opportunities to grow and improve. Learn more.
If a full-time person leaves, a business still has to source, interview and onboard a new starter - it’s the same for a job share applicant. Except, if one person leaves in a job share, you can find a replacement on Roleshare that is a good match to the person that remains. And the business and the team still have another employee with similar skills and knowledge to maintain continuity and help onboard and train a replacement speedily.
Before sharing jobs, professionals seeking to share jobs should be able to find relevant matches, co-interview each other, and establish chemistry, motivation and values.
For example, by creating an account on the Roleshare platform, candidates can contact and communicate with a range of like-minded individuals to ensure the chemistry and shared values are in place before they commit to applying for roles.
The way we work is changing fast for both employees and employers – and job sharing is part of this evolution. Why not find out more about how Roleshare can help your career, or your business, thrive in the future?
