Ella Al-Shamahi talks to women in Switzerland and the UK about how job sharing can boost a career and bring many benefits to both work and home life.

Irenka Krone-Germann is Swiss and has written several books about job-sharing and part-time working. She co-founded We Jobshare, an online platform which helps people find a job or topshare partner. Irenka has job partners, both female and male, in several different senior roles.

Charlotte Cherry has been job sharing with Alix Ainsley in the UK for 15 years. They've worked in senior HR roles for many different companies including Unilever and Lloyds Bank, they currently work for Virgin. They've recently set up a consultancy Daring Two. Charlotte says job sharing has offered much more challenging and fulfilling positions than working part-time would have done, at the same time as giving her more time with her family.
