2 Critical Thinking What points support the job-sharing plan? How would it benefit the company? The employees? Points that support a job-sharing plan include cost savings for the company as they do not have to pay for employee benefits and reduced overhead costs. It can also benefit the company in terms of increased flexibility, allowing them to adjust staffing levels according to their needs. For employees, job-sharing offers the opportunity to work part-time, allowing them to make money while still having time for other activities such as family or school. What negative effects might it have on the company and the employees? The negative effects of a job-sharing plan on the company include the lack of loyalty that part-time employees may have to the company and the potential for decreased productivity. For employees, the lack of benefits and job security that full-time employment provides can be a disadvantage. Additionally, morale may decrease when some employees are given full-time positions, and others are not. Is job sharing better for some positions in a department than for others? Yes, job sharing can be better for some positions than others. For example, positions that require more technical expertise or experience may be better suited to full-time employees. In contrast, positions that require less training or experience may be better suited to part-time employees. Additionally, jobs requiring excellent customer service or interaction may benefit more from full-time employees. Do you have any concerns about potential employment discrimination if this plan is implemented? If so, what would they be?

3 Yes, there are potential concerns about employment discrimination if this plan is implemented. For example, employers may be more likely to hire part-time employees who are younger and do not require benefits or those who have fewer qualifications but are willing to work for lower pay. Additionally, employers may be less likely to hire older employees who need more benefits and higher wages. These potential discriminatory practices could lead to legal issues for the company if not addressed. Is creating job-sharing positions the right thing for the company/customers/employees to do in this situation? Ultimately, it is up to the company to decide what is best for them, their customers, and their employees. Job-sharing can be beneficial in terms of cost savings and increased flexibility. Still, it can also negatively affect the company and employees regarding job security, lack of benefits, and decreased morale. Before making a decision, the company should carefully consider all of the potential effects of job-sharing and weigh the pros and cons before making a final decision.
