STRUCTURE WORK FOR BETTER BUSINESS

Structure work for sustainable high performance

 

There are three critical elements to structuring work better:

1. The constraint of time as a catalyst to do better

2. The power of the bargain to unleash human potential

3. Creating conditions for holistic change, not individual

 

What the structure looks like will differ from business to business. It could be a shorter work week, or maybe 'Futures Friday' innovation day, or maybe time in the week to do better work, together.

Even if you choose a shorter work week, design it to work for your business. It could be a four-day week, early closing hours, or closing for summer.

What Our Clients Say

The transition to an outcome-based approach has yielded several significant benefits for our transformation team:

  1. 100% Staff Retention: By shifting the focus from hours worked to the quality and impact of contributions, employees feel more valued and recognised for their efforts. This has led to higher job satisfaction and loyalty, reducing turnover and the associated costs of recruiting and training new staff.
  2. Increase in Innovation Mindset: The outcome-based approach has fostered a culture of innovation. This has led to a surge in innovative solutions and improvements across various projects and processes, driving the team forward in meeting and exceeding expectations set by the overall leadership. The market has also recognised this, and we are perceived as being leaders in the transformation sector we currently operate in.
  3. Open Communication and Streamlined Objectives: The emphasis on outcomes has necessitated clearer and more open communication within the team. This transparency has enhanced collaboration and coordination, leading to more efficient and effective teamwork.
  4. Increased Overall Team Happiness: The team appreciate the flexibility and autonomy that come with being judged on their results rather than their hours spent in the office. This has contributed to a healthier work-life balance, reducing stress and increasing overall well-being.
  5. Challenging the Status Quo for Better Efficiency: The outcome-based mindset has encouraged the team to constantly challenge how things are done and seek ways to improve efficiency. This continuous improvement mentality has led to more streamlined processes, reduced waste, and better resource utilisation, ultimately enhancing productivity and performance.

I feel I lead a more efficient lifestyle. I had ridiculously long work hours before that made me feel burnt out and less excited about work. I now have time to go to the gym and spend with my spouse; having a life outside of work has improved my mental health which in turn improves the quality of my work because I feel recharged.

Customer satisfaction and relations has improved because I’m able to establish better rapport by have more personal conversations that make clients feel more engaged.

It’s also given me the time to feed my creative side and build my wedding business , which is already leading to more income opportunities.
