Does a job share mean more work for managers?

Experienced job sharing professionals are more likely to share and solve problems before escalating to management.

Well, that depends. Yes, managers may need to perform additional 1:1 and performance reviews.

But many sharers alternate 1:1s on a weekly basis or do them jointly (except for personal development conversations) so the management time doesn’t change.

Plus, the potential ROI (boosts in productivity, improved business continuity and upskilling), often outweighs any small lift in operational costs.

Peer-to-peer accountability also means experienced job sharing professionals are more likely to share and solve problems before escalating to management.
