Our First Team Training was a Huge Success


ShareGoals first training session for job share teams, entitled "Synchronize your Job Share Team," was held July 25, 2001. Through a series of hands-on projects and interactive discussion we explored various issues that affect the performance of a job share team.

Job sharing is a philosophical approach to work and life. It takes a solid game plan and constant training to insure that a job share team is working at peak performance.

Focusing on communication, marketing and shared goals, the teams worked together to enhance each attending team. The section entitled "Successful Solutions for Sticky Situations" allowed opportunities for the teams to share a situation or incident with the group that they are having a hard time resolving. Through a healthy exchange or ideas attendees walked away with specific solutions for their problems.

While there have been many articles written about what job sharing is, no one has ever taken the process to the next steps of training and marketing. This day long training session is specifically geared to the enhancement of job share effectiveness and productivity. Designed by Team Shaggie, the day is further enhanced by the high interaction of the attending job share teams.

This is what the attendees had to say:

The most powerful/useful piece of information received today was:

“How other job share teams interact effectively.”
“Talk more about our Team and market ourselves.”
“Market Ourselves”
“Team Branding”
“Good to hear what works with other teams”


We will use the information to strengthen our job share team by:

“Reinforcing the need to make changes in re-balance of the job share”
“Making goals”
“Better market ourselves”
“Focusing on sharing the workload, team identity, joint e-mail/voicemail.”
