Change is hard, or it's perceived to be harder than it is. |
It's a major problem when workers don't show up. There's not a lot of 'fluff' in many businesses any more. Products aren't made, products aren't shipped, projects aren't done. It's a big problem for businesses. |
It's an expensive problem. The model for when and how we work has changed. |
We're starting to see more employers introduce flexibility into their workplace. The workplace is starting to look a little different. Businesses are finding they need to do it to retain the workers they have. |
You can't tune work out or turn it off. You've got the e-mail, the voice mail, the pager. Even when you're not at work, work is very much with you. It's harder for employees to balance their personal needs and the expectations of the boss. |
You might find people are more productive when they're at work if they don't go in feeling so hassled and stretched out for time. |
