Corbett Barr usually writes about the entrepreneurial life, but he sometimes turns his attention to traditional employment as well. He suggests these four things for better workplaces:
- Let employees decide on how much time off they take
- Measure results, not when/where/how work is done
- Make employees owners
- Find a job you love
The second item in particular (about measuring results rather than effort) is one that resonates with us. It’s one of the key drivers of success for a successful Out of Office work environment.
The other three aren’t directly related to Out of Office work styles, but we would certainly endorse them as well.
