HR Coffee Talk with Kate: Focus on results not hours
Manage episode 453052302 series 3477288
The traditional approach of measuring productivity by hours worked is outdated. Businesses are now shifting towards flexible work models, such as shorter workweeks or flexible hours, focusing on results rather than clocking hours. Companies like Kickstarter and Uncharted are piloting 32-hour workweeks, emphasizing employee well-being and happiness.
Rigid deadlines and an obsession with "busyness" harm creativity, mental health, and productivity. Instead, fostering autonomy and clear goal-setting allows employees to work more effectively. Regular check-ins and open communication ensure accountability without micromanagement.
Ultimately, success lies in creating a balanced, supportive work culture that values well-being and meaningful contributions over grinding employees to the bone.
