8. Working in a cross-generational job share propelled Mary Kaye Stuart and Sommer Hruska's momentum at work for a solid succession planning strategy for their employer—while giving both better mental and physical health.
When you think of job sharing, you might not have considered sharing a job with a partner whose background is very different from yours. It was a pleasure to interview my guest co-hosts Mary Kaye Stuart and Sommer Hruska in Episode 8, not only because they are Work Muse clients, or because I go back a long time with Mary Kaye, but because their job share is such a beautiful example of an intergenerational or cross-generational job share—in this case, pairing a Boomer and a Gen Xer. The duo credits their generational differences with making their job share more effective.
Mary Kaye and Sommer detail how they navigated their relationships with clients and coworkers, and why if they loved their jobs, they decided to job share in the first place. A doctor's sage advice for longevity and a young mother's determination to find more time for her children and homestead might have been the impetus. However, job sharing led both Mary Kaye and Sommer to enjoy other parts of life society "doesn't deem as worthy" like exploring passions such as writing and being truly present with one's children and self.
In our live-to-work society, Mary Kaye and Sommer's story is the wake-up call many of us need and makes the case for considering different ways to work like sharing roles.
