Dear Jody,

I work in a large engineering firm. I would like to shift departments to a results-only approach. Can we implement ROWE on our own? 

Sincerely,

Vice President of Engineering

 

Jody's Advice: Respectfully, no. Adopting a Results-Only Work Environment requires an adaptive process of shifting your team's or the entire organization’s mindset, knowledge, and skills to serve the customer individually and collectively. The change process takes time and attention. At CultureRx, we provide the necessary lifelines to support successful adoption throughout the ROWE implementation. To achieve this evolution, CultureRx guides organizations through a 15 month end-to-end proven, research-backed, and proprietary process.

Your work culture guide,

Jody
