🌟 It Takes Two to Tango: Tandem as a Business Case & Career Track Solution 🌟

Why is job sharing the go-to career track solution for some, while others see it as a costly, complicated red flag? In our latest session, I had the honor of hosting @Svenja Christen, founder of @Jobsharing Hub and @PairToShare, who shared the inside scoop on why tandems are a powerful option for staying on the career path with reduced hours—and how to pitch the business case effectively.

Here are Svenja’s top tips if you’re considering a tandem role:
👤 Know Yourself: Ask if you’re the type for tandem work. Successful job sharing means a new approach to collaboration, shared goals, and task transparency.
🤝 Find Your Partner: Reach out! Find a colleague or partner with aligned goals and talk to those already in similar roles.
🧑‍💼 Check Leadership Support: Look into which leaders are supportive or even excited about tandems. Their buy-in is key.

📣 Prepare a Tailored Pitch: Craft a pitch that highlights both your personal goals and the business benefits. Address any reservations—show that job sharing can be both efficient and inspiring. Remember, a tandem sets an example and opens doors for others. And here’s a big selling point: by supporting this model, your manager could become a true change maker for diversity!

Tandems are more than a work-life solution—they’re a smart business strategy and a way for companies to lead the charge in diversity and flexibility.
