Hi Kirsten,  Yes echo what Sarah has said.

I would avoid changing contractual hours as it will make things more complicated (for contracts, pay, part-time workers etc) and instead move towards principles i.e. ‘we don’t measure you by how many hours you do or where you are, but on results’.

We’ve got our New Workplace webinar at 1 pm today and we give some examples about what this looks like, but as an example, this is what Telefonica have done:

1. Work where you are most productive: every employee can choose their place of work.
2. Flex your working day to meet your needs and when you’re most productive:
3. The focus of managers is on the RESULTS, not where and when the work is done.
4. We use a ‘tight – loose – tight’ approach to managing performance (what they mean by this is regular check-ins as Sarah mentioned with the line manager/employee agreeing on expectations/outcomes upfront – then giving the employee freedom and autonomy to get the work done and then tight again on measuring the outcomes delivered.)

Hope you can make the webinar but if not it will be on the Club as a recording tomorrow!

Karen
