The answer is Jobsharing: the original text in the question describes a situation where two employees, William and Riko, are sharing the responsibilities of one full-time position.

Explanation for each option:

  1. Jobsharing: This is a work arrangement where two or more employees share the responsibilities of a single full-time job. In the scenario, William and Riko are splitting the work responsibilities for one full-time position, which aligns with the definition of jobsharing.

  2. Compressed workweek: This refers to a work schedule that allows an employee to work a full-time job in fewer than the traditional five days per week. For example, working four 10-hour days instead of five 8-hour days. This option does not fit the scenario as it involves sharing a single position between two people, not compressing the workweek.

  3. Flextime: This is a flexible work schedule that allows employees to choose their working hours within certain limits. While it provides flexibility, it does not involve sharing a job position between two employees, as described in the scenario.

  4. Job enrichment: This involves enhancing a job by adding more meaningful tasks or increasing the responsibility of the employee. It is aimed at increasing job satisfaction and motivation but does not relate to sharing a job position between two employees.

Therefore, the correct answer is Jobsharing.
