Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Job sharing would be the best alternative job structure for Janice and Shunil as they both need income but also have personal circumstances that require flexibility. With job sharing, they can both work part-time and split the responsibilities and compensation of a full-time position. This would allow Janice to have more time off for her upcoming maternity leave and Shunil to work on building his own business while still maintaining steady income. Flex time and telecommuting may provide some level of flexibility but would not address the need for both individuals to have income. Job rotation and job enrichment do not address the need for flexibility or shared responsibility.
