Work Muse is a flexible work consulting firm specializing in job sharing: a partnership between two people to share the responsibilities of one full-time position. After job sharing in the radio industry for nearly a decade and seeing my company and career thrive, I became passionate about sharing this little known flexible work practice to improve the lives of others. At Work Muse, our mission is to drive adoption of job sharing as a source of competitive advantage for businesses while helping individuals find work-life balance. We bring training, implementation, and support to ensure job share program success and empower individuals to create rewarding job shares. Employers get 24/7 work while attracting diverse talent and increasing engagement, productivity, and retention. The world of work is changing—generation z through boomers are choosing companies that value quality of work versus how work happens—and job sharing will make innovative companies the hottest places to work.
