Pattern For A Male Hemp Bracelet

free time and predictable performance required

Companies that offer consulting services usually have a culture of response 24 / 7 even by phone. Those who work in services, whether accountants, lawyers, computer engineers, programmers, etc. usually do our work as important in our lives. According to a survey by HBR in 2008, 94% of this class of professionals work over 50 hours a week, and almost half of them came up to 65 hours per week, which does not include, above all for us systems, the time we spent monitoring services, testing or checking our e-pages over working hours.

Today is a new trend is emerging, based on experiments conducted by some consultants are beginning to establish fixed and uninterrupted free time, and still give the same result to the client, and in some cases even better one. Basically it is to impose a strict mechanism to take time off every so often fixed, foster teamwork and communication above all, encourage experimentation with new forms of work and above all support this new movement.

We are thinking on how to implement this behavior started some time ago to require us to internally prepare work schedules, more control for all projects and more communication. But we need to take a few more steps. First, to make it possible for part of the group taking time off is necessary to have a group. We have therefore decided not to have one person draft. In addition it will facilitate the exchange of knowledge within the company and force us to have internal meetings with project progress more regularly, weekly review progress of projects, the potential problems of the week, will resolve questions about how to resolve outstanding issues and determine what strategy to take time off to fulfill its assigned personnel. The first idea would be that each take a half day off a week per month, beyond the normal holiday.

Another objective is to establish summer time, for which it is also necessary to make internal adjustments in order to fill the hours that are not working on Fridays for the space last summer's schedule. Also be established for that equipment to be respected to ensure that the daylight savings time is possible.

is important to note that these changes should not affect the quality of the final product we deliver, we are aware that small companies like ours is essential to the working staff is paramount, and deliver quality work and show a real commitment to customer is our best presentation. Finally, the convenience provided to the staff can not go against the creation of value for the company. As with our policy of having no input schedules and a policy of taking all the holidays you need, this policy seeks fixed free time just encourage imagination, sharing, speed and overall quality of the products we develop.
