Communicating
At the core of every successful job sharing arrangement is
a good communication system.
Both sharers need to feel that they are “in the
loop” and know what is going on. Many of the fears that
managers and coworkers have about job sharing (e.g. that
things will “fall between the cracks” or that
they’ll have to repeat information) can be answered by
good communication. Sharers
have to communicate between themselves as well as with
their supervisor, coworkers and customers.
There are many kinds of communication systems.
On the following screen is a page from a sample
joint work log kept on a computer.
In the log six additional forms of communication
are mentioned. Read
the sample and see if you can note these six additional
forms of communication.
