Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Job sharing allows two employees to divide one full-time position between them, each working part-time. This would be the best choice for Janice and Shunil as it allows them to both work part-time, while still earning income and pursuing their personal goals. Job enlargement, telecommuting, job rotation, and job enrichment would not provide the necessary flexibility for the two employees in this situation.
