Plantronics, the maker of wireless headsets, has designed a corporate office that encourages employees to get their work done at their home office or other preferred location. A Fast Company article, “An Office Designed to Keep People Working From Home,” highlighs the new non-office office space.
Plantronics’ leaders have transformed their company’s work culture from sitting in corporate cubicles all day to working anywhere the employee feels comfortable, as long as the work gets done.
There’s an expectation that you can work anywhere and be highly productive and engaged. — Patricia Wadors, Senior Vice President of Human Resources at Plantronics
Plantronics is only one of many other companies making the move to a distributed workforce. The concept makes sense in our 24/7 wireless, communication-driven, digital world.
CultureRX, a results-only work environment (ROWE) consulting firm provides an updated ROWE Approved list of companies who have transformed from clock-watching to getting the word done. Employees are not evaluated on presence but on performance, according to their website.
ROWE’s make complete, logical sense. When will your leadership begin the transformation?
