Get to Know ROWE: Remote Work on Steroids
Why the results-only model is best practice amid a pandemic.
As the novel coronavirus lingers, companies are increasingly leveraging remote work arrangements — some for the first time.
I’ve worked remotely in the public and private sectors for the past decade. Thus I can tell you that while there’s no “one size fits all” solution regarding telework, some models have proven more effective than others.
Successful remote work paradigms should be based on the specific industry and/or company involved, in addition to the nature of the work and specific job classifications. Remote work is not applicable to all jobs.
Employers need to experiment with different telework management models to discover the best outcome for their workforce.
Challenging times often demand bold solutions, in this case regarding remote work flexibility.
That’s why a Results-Only Work Environment (ROWE) makes good business sense for some industries, especially for white collar jobs in corporate America.
