“When done right, flexibility results in a happier, healthier, and more productive workforce. And it helps attract the best employees, and makes them want to stick around.”

  • Anne Donovan,

U.S. People Experience Leader at PwC “What PwC Learned from Its Policy of Flexible Work for Everyone”

slide-27
SLIDE 27

“Everyday flexibility” at PWC:

  • 1. Mentality and a way of life that should be individualized

for each person

  • 2. Allow for variance, creativity and agility (‘cause life

doesn’t play by the rules)

  • 3. No “one-size-fits-all approach”: “We let our teams figure
  • ut what works best for them, as long as they deliver

excellent work, on time. The rest is all fair game.”

slide-28
SLIDE 28

“Everyday flexibility” at PWC:

  • 4. One person’s reasons for needing flexibility are not any

more or less important than any another person’s.

  • 5. If you trust an individual enough that you hired her, you

also should trust her to get the work done when and where she prefers (as long as she meets agreed-upon deadlines).

  • 6. A strong culture starts from the very top.
slide-29
SLIDE 29

Think your executive team will balk at the idea of increased flexibility? Do your senior leaders perceive work/life initiatives as “soft”? Make the business case for encouraging flexibility at

  • work. How can it positively

impact the business?

“Companies that chose to go, go, go to try to gain an edge ended up with lower sales and operating profits than those that paused at key moments to make sure they were on the right track. What’s more, the firms that ‘slowed down to speed up’ improved their top and bottom lines, averaging 40% higher sales and 52% higher operating profits over a three-year period.”

  • From the Harvard Business Review article “Need Speed? Slow Down”
slide-61

According to research, how often should you take a break? Every 50-90 minutes. How long should your breaks be? 15 to 20 minutes is the ideal length, but you should take longer at lunch.
