Free schedule in IT company. How productive is he?

Question

Time Management

Good day.
Happy holidays, good health to you and your loved ones!

I'm thinking about introducing a more free work schedule for my team. For example, X required hours per week/day. You want to work from 9, you want from 10 or 11, but you have to work the required number of hours.

I know that this practice is used in many companies. Please share your experience: how are things in your company? how effective? How satisfied are you and your colleagues?

Thank you for your attention!

Answer 1

Best advice: Stop counting the hours altogether. See how much work is completed per month. If you fulfilled the average norm, everything is ok. If there are a lot of tails, talk and in the absence of sane reasons - fire. And where and when a person works is not important; because he will sit 8 hours in the office from 9 to 6, work will not be done - maybe he had a booze at night and it’s better for him to come to 2 today, having worked until late at night.

Answer 2

People need to create conditions for work, and properly motivate them. How they will do this work - at home, in the office, on the beach, hiring freelancers - does not matter.
What do you want to achieve with such introductions?
Do not forget that there are different categories of people:
- those who are completely unable to work at home
- those who cannot work under conditions of poor control
- those whose productivity drops off outside the office
- etc.
Have you tested your employees in an appropriate way in order to comb everyone under the same brush?
The road is paved with good intentions... you know :)

Answer 3

IMHO it is effective if your company has students. For them, a big plus is that they can combine study and work without harming anyone.
Of the minuses - sometimes the team leader sits from the arrival of the first employee (read 9 am) until the last one leaves (read 22.00)

Answer 4

In a spherical company in a vacuum, switching to a free schedule will give a spherical increase in productivity and hyperbolic staff satisfaction. In reality, you need to look at what conditions you have, with whom you work, with whom you contact.

Answer 5

Hm. We mostly work from 3 to 11 - everyone is happy, everything is fine.
Well, yes - no one counts the clock either.

Answer 6

You can count hours - do not count,
reward - do not try on,
at home - at work, a
free schedule or strict hours
. This is all secondary.
Conscience is the best controller.
and more...
One of the main principles to remember, leaders:
the leader should not interfere with people's work
How to achieve all this ??? The general answer is to look for a compromise between the system and chaos, and not to go to extremes.
