Episode 1884: Laura Stack redefines workplace productivity by exploring the Results-Only Work Environment (ROWE), where performance is measured by output, not hours. By shifting the focus from attendance to achievement, employees gain autonomy, increase efficiency, and experience better work-life balance, while organizations see stronger results and improved loyalty. Read along with the original article(s) here: https://theproductivitypro.com/blog/2008/11/whats-a-rowe-understanding-the-results-only-work-environment/ Quotes to ponder: "Just because someone works 80 hours a week or hits the office every day at 6 a.m. sharp, doesn't mean they're accomplishing anything." "If the work is getting done and getting done well, what difference does it make if the employee was physically seated in the office from nine-to-five?" "In a results-only environment, you fit your work around your life, not the other way around." Episode references: Results-Only Work Environment (ROWE): https://www.gorowe.com/
