Nowadays, you can share a lot of things. Music and pictures can easily be shared over the Internet, as well as bikes, cars and chainsaws in real life. If a colleague wants to work fewer hours, one can even share a job. This type of sharing is called \u2019job splitting\u2019. How this works, exactly, is what I wanted to find out when I sat down with Ruzica Babic over coffee.
\n
\nRuzica came to SMA many years ago. She started out in the Production department as an optical inspector, working in the three-shift system. She worked full-time while taking care of her 3 kids at home. Due to the fact that her husband also had a full-time job, however, her daily routine soon became too stressful. She told me: \u201cMy family and health are very important to me, but I didn\u2019t want to give up my job either\u201d. So, Ruzica decided to speak to her senior manager and tell him that she wanted to cut back to working part-time.<\/p>\n

Flexible Working Hours in Part-Time<\/h5>\n

This was no problem for her senior manager, Volker Becker. \u201cAs an executive, if I want to take the needs of my staff into consideration, I can always find a way to do it.\u201d Ruzica was quickly able to transition to the two-shift system and cut her working hours in half. Volker was even able to find another colleague who was interested in working part-time, and thus brought the \u2019job splitting\u2019 duo together. Thanks to the reduced position, Ruzica was able to dedicate more time to her kids. During the weeks in which Ruzica has the early shift, she is home before her youngest child finishes school for the day. When she has the late shift, her husband is home and can take care of the little ones.<\/p>\n

Passed the Practical Test<\/h5>\n

At least, that\u2019s what people think. Enough with the theory, I wanted to know if flexible part-time actually works in reality. Ruzica reported, \u201cAbsolutely! It works great with my colleague.\u201d Before each shift, the two get together and discuss what has been done and anything which still needs to be finished. Ruzica explained, \u201cOf course, I can stay an hour longer if there is a lot going on. I\u2019m just much more relaxed working part-time.\u201d Ruzica\u2019s job splitting partner just took maternity leave, by the way, but wants to return to work as soon as possible. They both already know how well part-time works, after all. \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n\n\n
