How To Work Better by Working How You Want to Work

I recently bumped into an old friend who works at Telus, who told me that for her role and many others, employees at Telus can work flexibly from any location they choose. From home, from a coffee shop, or in my friend’s case, for a few weeks from a vacation rental in Kelowna.

It’s not the first time I’ve heard lately about working differently. 

An Inc. article a couple of weeks ago from author and “Serial CEO” Margaret Heffernan agued that flexible hours inspire performance. “Don’t waste a minute tracking your employees’ hours. They’ll get more done,” she contends.

And, if you’re like most of us who have rolled our eyes at least once in a meeting,  you’ll enjoy Jason Fried’s TEDtalk. He slams “Managers & Meetings” – M&M’s – for being huge time-wasters and productivity-killers.

 

We’re no longer in the industrial age of punch-in-punch-out, and I love that people are thinking differently about how to work better. The goals of working better, helping businesses to succeed, and maximizing potential in employees’ abilities are exactly why I was excited to be involved with Clearstream Collaborative.

We work to change leaders’ and employees’ experience with IT “systems”. Software shouldn’t be a master to be served, but a tool and a friend to help and encourage our best work. Put simply: we build really great databases that work the way people want to work!
