My Story

My background includes co-founder of a film company and a marketing and sales professional in the radio industry, including nearly a decade of practical hands-on experience job sharing. After my time in the film industry, I returned to radio as my husband and I began planning for a family, knowing the field offered the opportunity to job share. Upon returning from maternity leave, my manager who’d worked with top-performing job sharers proposed the work practice. My daughter was 6 months old at the time, and working five days a week with the demands of motherhood and career left me feeling depleted and unable to be my best at either. Job sharing was a game changer; it gave me the best of both worlds.

What I Learned Job Sharing Work Muse

In nearly a decade of job sharing, I experienced the benefits firsthand. Every job sharer I met was the highest achieving employee in their organizations. The only thing that mystified me was why more industries didn’t offer the innovative work practice.

I found that where job sharing exists, there is little education or support for job sharers, managers, or human resources. Unsurprisingly, the challenges I experienced were the direct result of a lack of company-wide know-how.

I had seen my company and career thrive through job sharing and became passionate about sharing this little-known flexible work practice to improve the lives of others.

Research Supports Job Sharing

As a result, I threw myself into a year-long research dive to develop an effective game plan to make job sharing a reality for the many, not just the few.

The aha moment was immediate; the research corroborated what I intuitively knew from my firsthand experience: job sharers are more productive, loyal, and happier than their counterparts and their managers, clients, and co-workers experience very positive results working with them.

The bigger aha: job sharers were doing it all alone through trial and error, on a boat with no oars and little to no support, but they were still kicking ass.

What I Learned Doing The Work

The Work Muse story doesn’t stop there. As I did the work, I began to clearly see how job sharing can not only improve people’s professional and personal lives but right systemic issues like caregiving and gender inequity. All this, while fostering human-centric, inclusive cultures at work. Unbelievably, job sharing leads to equity at work AND home. Thus, the job share revolution began.
