Comment on results-only work environment by Rick

* It’s amazing to me that with all this technology we’re still expected to be sitting in chairs from 8 to 5, then spend 1-2 hours commuting both ways.

It’s sick that my job as an IT person is still being done like this when I can do my job from anywhere and probably get more work done and be happier but my boss loves to walk up to my cube and BS about some idea they have and that’s considered the software requirement, ugh!

As a society, we’re stuck in this early 1900’s manufacturing mentality and we need to see you with your “butt in a chair” or we think you’re not working, that’s so deflating to your workforce.

Lets hope this ROWE movement happens soon because burn out will become a huge issue for our workforce and we can’t afford to lag behind in this truly global economy.

We’re going to need happy workers which in turn make efficient workers and helps increase the bottom line.

I love the idea of ROWE so much that I created a job board for ROWE (results only work environment) called “rowejobopenings dot com” so ROWE companies please sign up your jobs. The world is waiting!

Interesting! My group has been ROWE for years, the challenge being that we work within a much larger organization which is not. We’ve compensated by being really picky about who we hire and using probationary periods to weed out people who don’t respond well to ROWE. And make no mistake, there are people who don’t, as hard as it is for someone who “gets it” to understand. It can be a challenge to manage non-ROWE employees in a ROWE environment, too.

Stopped taking notes on this and left. Didn’t realize I would be attending CMS 101. Thought this would be a discussion of higher level concepts / challenges so a designer could take total advantage of a CMS. Would have been helpful if a description was listed for this one.
