What Happens When Employees Work Whenever and Wherever They Want?

Posted by: Mags Shapiro in Wokforce Effectiveness

Mags Shapiro

Author of "The 4-Hour Work Week" Tim Ferriss has a blog is chock full of mindboggling stats, check out http://www.fourhourworkweek.com/blog/the-truth/


He asks, "So, what happens when smart companies realize that work isn't a place where you go, but something that you do? That performance should be based on output and not hours?

Average Rise In Worker Productivity Since 2005: 35%

Average Change in Voluntary Turnover (Quitting) Across Divisions: -72.3% ("Smashing The Clock,” BusinessWeek, December 11, 2006)

Sun Microsystems Inc. calculates that it saves $300 million per year in real estate costs by allowing nearly 50% of employees to work anywhere they want.

If your company won’t wake up, you’ll just have to speed the process by firing their asses or outsmarting them."
