Telework, Telecommute, Shift

Are you still bound by the good old management style of, “I wanna see you at your desk 9-5?” Are you still “micro-managing your staff?” Even though giving up the old habit can be hard, sometimes you need to consider the market, the benefits to you and your company. Currently there are many large pioneering companies that take advantage of the ideas of “Telework” or “Telecommute”. The major difference between the two terms rely on one engaging the full employee potential by complete remote work environment (home-office); and the next partial work from home and partial from office respectively. The term “work shift” also has come to be used. This type of work set-up is usually referred to as: Green Style Management Environment (GSME). The benefits of this work environment far surpass all old style management systems. This style is considered by many large companies the way of the future for variety of reasons. GSME is a management strategy where employees are evaluated on performance, not presence. Employees focus on results and only results – increasing the organization’s performance while creating the right climate for people to manage all the demands in their lives . . . including work. GSME has a proven track record in creating teamwork, and an environment through which the morale and engagement soar, which leads to less workers feeling overworked or stressed out. The employees start behaving “proactively” vs. “reactively”. The number of days they claim “sick” reduces by a huge percentage and because the work and home environment are combined, they become more productive. Also the chance of spreading colds and flu and other ailments decrease significantly. GSME recognizes that life is an individual experience and that no two lives are identical — and leverages this to achieve better performance from each individual. Successfully adopting a Green Style Management Environment will position your company to attract and retain talent that will show up energized, disciplined, flexible and focused—ready to deliver all results necessary to drive the business. The workforce is more efficient, productive and loyal to the organization while also feeling satisfied, fulfilled, and in control of their personal and professional lives. This environment is all about productivity. But more importantly, your workforce will respond to the business as if it were their own. Innovate will no longer be a buzzword, it will be what you do. With GSME you can stop monitoring the hallways, trying to come up with a place to seat an employee and pay high cubicle costs and focus your energy on the business. The only thing you will be providing your employee is the computer equipment and the security access they need to perform their job from remote location. Some Benefits of GSME for your organization include:  Increase productivity & efficiency  Talent retention & attraction  Optimization of space  Elimination of wasteful processes  Proactive process development  Eliminating non-value added activities  Promoting better communication and response times  Being effective and nimble  Using common sense  Treat your people like responsible, professional adults  Create low turnover of great/good performers  Create high turnover of under/poor performers  Increase productivity  Reduce last minute requests due to poor planning  Reduce wasteful activity and drive efficiency  Give you the competitive advantage - differentiate you from your competitors  Force you to get clear on measureable RESULTS Once this is all said and done, these methods of work are not for everyone or in all situations.
