We mentioned this past Oct in our blog, matchstic meets ROWE, that we were taking on a "Results Only Work Environment" (otherwise known as ROWE) after reading "Work Sucks".

After a few months of trying it on for size, I can say that we've seen the benefits on both sides. When deadlines and demands were high, our team put in the extra hours to make it happen. And as the holidays approached this month and things got slower, our team was able to cut out early, not come into work at all, work from home, etc. In both cases no one was asking about how many hours were "supposed" to be put in each week. Instead, we only looked at what needed to take place and everyone worked accordingly.

It has largely been a mental shift, but as subtle as it is, the shift has made great waves.

ROWE works. I highly recommend giving it a try with your team if you haven't already.
