Words of Wisdom: Remember the needs of the business when you're proposing a flexible work arrangement - it's not all about you! Six years ago Cindee and Nancy entered the job share program at Sun Microsystems paving the way for others to follow. They are visible within the company as a role model and mentor not only for their marketing expertise, but also for job sharing and flexible career option success – without sacrificing a demanding and rewarding career. Nancy and Cindee work in Brand Marketing and are responsible for web editorial and message excellence that is rich in compelling proof points -- including customer references, competitive differentiation and market share data. With more than 40 years combined expertise in marketing, they manage people in the role, have been promoted in the role, and a fellow employee said that “they are seamless -- regardless of who shows up at a meeting, you know they will get the job done.” Through their job share, Cindee and Nancy are able to provide greater than full-time coverage and the company benefits as they bring their two perspectives to bear, resulting in richer execution and decision making. While not at Sun, Cindee and Nancy enjoy spending time with their families and are also active in their local communities, contributing to Parent-Teacher Organizations, scouting, etc. Recently, Nancy extended the job share concept beyond the corporate world and found a job share partner for her volunteer VP position at her religious organization, furthering the opportunity for others to enjoy this flexible approach to work.
