They’ve Been There.
See Business Transformation After ROWE Certification.

Give employees the freedom to get their work done how and when it works best for them, and you’ll be surprised by the results that follow. The Results-Only Work Environment (ROWE) is not about a flexible or hybrid work schedule. It’s a total shift in management and mindset that makes employees fully accountable for their work and outcomes. What follows is improved retention, greater revenue, and a dynamic work culture.

Undeniable Business Outcomes

One of the most significant benefits of a ROWE is improved job satisfaction for every employee, and with that comes incredible business results. Companies see the difference in their bottom line, customer relationships, and overall business growth after working with CultureRx, a top management consulting firm.

From Hierarchical Instruction to Each Employee Owning Outcomes and Career Development

01
Challenges
  • Hierarchical structure where employees waited for their manager to tell them what to do
  • Limited collaboration among team members
  • Disjointed view of how to serve customers

 

02
Results
  • Each contributor owns their job, career and training instead of waiting for their manager to do so
  • Employee engagement is “through the roof,” according to management
  • 1,900 employees working toward improved solutions for serving clients

“This ROWE culture that we are creating has turned out to be a terrific recruitment bonus. If you look on our website, the way that we have posted our openings right now— we talk about the culture that we are trying to build and that we have. And we say, if you want to work like this, this is your place, come here. But if you can’t, the opposite is also true. ... It is very powerful.”

- Marie-Claude Tremblay
SVP People and Strategy, Canadian Crown Corporation

Clock Punchers Become Product Owners Improving Competitive Edge and Shortening Product Delivery Timelines

01
Challenges
  • Dated mentality that time + physical presence = results - dramatically suboptimizing belief structure
  • Industry change that focused less on relationships and more on the bottom line
  • Requirement to build company-wide measurement systems to compete in the new marketplace

02
Results
  • The company landed two major contracts with Fortune 500 companies
  • Teams can start and stop their work based on their daily objectives, not when the clock arbitrarily says it’s time to punch in/out – it often means a shorter workday due to increase in efficiency.
  • Went from a 70% on-time delivery rate to a 90% on-time delivery rate – a 20% increase that’s giving them measurable statistics to compete
  •  

“Once we looked at all the metrics, reorganized, and gave complete autonomy and accountability to our employees, productivity began to show significant improvements. People can be very creative when you show them the results they need to achieve.”

-Dennis Malecek
CEO, Dynatronix

Agency Doubles Revenue 4 Years after ROWE Certification

01
Challenges
  • Stagnant business results that led to a goal to double top line revenue and drive profitability for continued investment in the business
  • JLB had satisfied, happy clients and a pleasant environment with flexibility, but that led to a status quo mentality that lacked personal accountability and motivators for employees
  • The company did not communicate progress toward goals well
  • Needed a way to get each employee participating in driving business results to achieve big goals
02
Results
  • More than doubled company revenue in 4 years
  • Employees were empowered to go directly to anyone at any level about a challenge to make a project work better
  • Team members began to take ownership of results and contribute at a higher level
  • Added a new service line that increased revenue after an employee recognized a process that was lacking and sought an alternative

“We set out with a goal, communicated it and measured it often with team
meetings, discussions, and collaboration, all based in the ROWE methodology. New
ideas began to generate from all areas of JLB, something that had never happened
before, and that was really the launching pad for our growth!”

- Suzy Hoaby
President, JL Buchanan
