    Angela Nelissen and Christina Haasis and the advantage of Job Sharing

    Some years ago, the idea of job sharing was new and the path wasn’t easy, but at least at Unilever this “experiment” became a trending solution.

They even have a common email address named CHAN and say: "100% sharing is 200% brain power". In this episode of Dock & Talk - Stories from the top KLU president takes a deep dive into this job model with Christiane Haasis and Angela Nelissen.
