6) What is important when job-sharing?
课本P9，答案参见学生用书P7阅读材料
➢ Find someone you like
➢ Organize and plan how you share the work
参考答案：
Finding someone you like is the most import when you start a job-share. As job
sharing is a way for two people to both fill one job, finding someone you like is like is
very important for the success of the scheme. You may find one from your current
workplace, or you may find one from outside through all kinds of contacts.
Organizing and planning how you share the work is also important. If it is shares
responsibility, there is no division of duties but the two people have to split the hours
clearly to ensure that the work flows continuously. If it is divided responsibility, each
partner has to be clear about his own case----load or project to focus on during his
working hours. If it is unrelated responsibility, the partners have to learn what their
separate tasks are in the same department, and each has to do his own share well.
Communication is another important factor to consider when you arrange the
job-share, especially for shared responsibility. Partners have to communicate well so
that jobs are done smoothly. Using email, voicemail message, daily logs and notes
are some techniques that help facilitate communication.
7) What is important when working from home? 课本P9
➢ Set up an office space in the house
➢ Plan your working hours and your breaks
参考答案：
Setting up an office space in the house is important when working from home.
This will give you a feel of being in the office and concentrate more on work. In this
way, it will be easy for you to differentiate between work time and private time and
you will not be easily distracted.
It is also important to plan your working hours and your breaks. Make it like in
the office and set a timetable. But do not overwork yourself to make up for not being
in the office every day. Make sure you have a break after you work for a few hours.
In addition, to make working from home really successful, you should make sure
colleagues and clients can reach you as though you are in the office. This may help a
lot to guarantee the efficiency.
