如何使之顺利开展，以下方略为你指点迷津。
(0)理想搭档找一位自己合得来的人。
正如一家名为“Flexecutive”(弹性管理)的弹性工作方式咨询公司总裁卡罗·萨维吉所言，“要能够相互沟通，功过与共”。
(1)敞开心胸有六岁以下孩子的员工，可能会希望实行弹性工作制。
对此需求当老板的应该充分予以考虑。
要欣然想到它所带来的好处，用萨维吉的话说就是：“双倍的经验．双倍的技能，双倍的智能和精力。
”(2)有备无患要经常讨论，预见最坏状况。
玛格丽特·米尔丝是位教师，由于分担工作的伙伴患家族疾病去世，她只能重新做回全职工作。
“过去我们过分乐观了。
我确实设法找到了一位适合我的人，但我只能说当时运气真是太好了。
”(3)安排有序交接工作的制度要计划周密，有条不紊，发挥各人特长。
根据各自的技能和素质分配工作任务。
(4)规定限度经理们应该明确说明他们对分担工作者的上班时间、到岗情况和工作成果有何具体要求，员工们则必须设法应对老板的期望。
苏·奥斯本与人分担工作已有21个年头。
她说，“我们经常被要求每星期工作五天。
最后我们不得不表示拒绝。
”(5)签订协议经过协商，以书面方式签订各种有关休假、产假、退休等安排的协议。
应该从一开始就清楚了解自己所处的地位和享有的条件。
(6)勿感内疚不要因为无法天天在办公室办公，而在家工作到凌晨一点钟以示弥补。
(7)合二为一努力与工作伙伴默契合作，因为客户也许不喜欢同时与两个人打交道。
如萨维吉所言，“工作分担制应该像婚姻一样——做到一个声音，一个整体。
”口语练习A mini-presentation6A：WHAT'S IMPORTANT WHEN…?Job-sharing·Find someone you like．·Organise and plan how you share the work··参考答案：In talking about the top of job-sharing, three factors should be taken into consideration.Firstly, in my opinion, finding someone you like is the most important 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 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．Secondly, organising and planning how you share the work is also important．If it's shared 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’s divided responsibility，each partner has to be clear about his own case-load or project to focus on during his working hours．If it's 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．Besides the above two, 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 messages，daily logs and notes are some techniques that help facilitate communication．Well, this is my understanding on the topic. Thank you.B：WHAT'S IMPORTANT WHEN…?Working from home·Set up an office space in the house．·Plan your working hours and your breaks··参考答案：In considering the topic of working from home, several factors cannot be ignored. Firstly I think, 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．Furthermore, it’s 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．So in conclusion, working from home cannot be efficient and practical without self-discipline. That’s all. Thank you.1. 2 Business Skills Making contacts词语准备trade fair event 商品交易会coffee break 工间咖啡休息时间drinks evening 晚间酒会coaching event 专项体验训练活动network vt．&vi．建立关系网络networking n．建立人际网，关系网maximise vt．最大限度地使用、发挥socializing n．参与社交，交际corporate world 商界useful contacts 有用的人脉关系co-chair 联合总裁、主席‘networking’event (为帮助职场人士建立人脉关系专门举行的)“牵线搭桥”活动，联谊活动locals n．当地人be spread out 分散在各地internal communication 内部交流post-it note 便条参考译文：生活就是建立人脉关系对人们而言，建立关系网络也许仅仅意味着通过参加会议或商品交易会等活动认识新客户或合作伙伴；要么就是在工休闲暇时分，边喝咖啡，边与其他部门的同事交流思想。
