Let people work whatever schedule they want, as long as the work is getting done.
Obviously certain jobs like retail can’t just have people “not working”, but you can coordinate shifts. Or if there’s a scheduled period of time like with construction that’s different (though the construction guys and gals can help decide the schedule). And obviously even in tech jobs people need to communicate, present, have meetings, etc.
But other than that, actually talk to people to see what schedule, within the necessary constraints, works best for them. It’s their productivity which helps your company (of course if their schedule is 1 day a week then they’re not being productive; but if an employee does the same amount of work in <36 hours and is ok getting paid for only <36 hours, it’s a win-win).
- lm28469 3y ago> as long as the work is getting done. First you'd have to define that. The "work to be done" increased with our productivity. We started with machines doing the work of 50 people, thread weaving for example, but it didn't mean thread weavers worked 50 times less, it just meant we produced 50 times more. You can apply that to pretty much every fields. When the end goal is "produce as much as you can" there is no "getting the job done", the only limits are set by laws regulating salaries and working hours.
