M hmm, 26 00:01:34,800 --> 00:01:38,480 Speaker 1: this is black Welcome to the New Corner Office the 27 00:01:38,560 --> 00:01:41,520 Speaker 1: podcast where we share strategies for thriving in the new 28 00:01:41,520 --> 00:01:45,360 Speaker 1: world of work, were location and hours are more flexible 29 00:01:45,520 --> 00:01:49,160 Speaker 1: than in the past. Today's tip is to try using 30 00:01:49,200 --> 00:01:52,840 Speaker 1: windowed work. That is, set a window in which everyone 31 00:01:52,920 --> 00:01:56,880 Speaker 1: is available for collaboration, then let people set their own 32 00:01:56,880 --> 00:02:01,080 Speaker 1: hours around that core. Whether you are a veteran remote 33 00:02:01,080 --> 00:02:04,680 Speaker 1: worker or newly transitioned into a less traditional work setup, 34 00:02:05,200 --> 00:02:08,440 Speaker 1: you've probably struggled to fit rigid nine to five work 35 00:02:08,480 --> 00:02:11,880 Speaker 1: hours into your life at one time or another. This 36 00:02:11,960 --> 00:02:14,839 Speaker 1: could be because you have children, or pets or other 37 00:02:14,919 --> 00:02:17,840 Speaker 1: daily demands, or maybe it's just that you don't do 38 00:02:17,919 --> 00:02:22,720 Speaker 1: your best work during traditional work hours. Theoretically, working from 39 00:02:22,720 --> 00:02:26,240 Speaker 1: home can allow for more flexibility. No one needs to 40 00:02:26,280 --> 00:02:29,640 Speaker 1: open up the office at odd hours without a commute, 41 00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:33,280 Speaker 1: you can work split shifts. Unless you live next door 42 00:02:33,320 --> 00:02:36,120 Speaker 1: to your office, you probably won't work from eight am 43 00:02:36,160 --> 00:02:38,360 Speaker 1: to noon and then four to eight pm with a 44 00:02:38,440 --> 00:02:41,640 Speaker 1: trip home in between. But from a home office this 45 00:02:41,680 --> 00:02:44,799 Speaker 1: can work just fine. Of course, many of us work 46 00:02:44,840 --> 00:02:47,840 Speaker 1: closely with teams, which means that one person working six 47 00:02:47,880 --> 00:02:50,800 Speaker 1: am to two pm and someone else working two pm 48 00:02:50,840 --> 00:02:54,560 Speaker 1: to ten pm just isn't going to fly. This brings 49 00:02:54,639 --> 00:02:57,840 Speaker 1: us to the idea of windowed work, one tool that 50 00:02:57,919 --> 00:03:00,880 Speaker 1: may remove some stress and make your life easier while 51 00:03:00,880 --> 00:03:04,080 Speaker 1: simultaneously allowing you and your team to perform at your best. 52 00:03:05,200 --> 00:03:08,560 Speaker 1: Here's how this works. As a team, you agree on 53 00:03:08,639 --> 00:03:12,440 Speaker 1: a shared block of time during which you can all meet, collaborate, 54 00:03:12,560 --> 00:03:15,760 Speaker 1: and consult with each other. Most people like to schedule 55 00:03:15,800 --> 00:03:18,120 Speaker 1: this window during the middle of the day, just to 56 00:03:18,160 --> 00:03:21,960 Speaker 1: be most accommodating to people's different work styles. The length 57 00:03:21,960 --> 00:03:25,359 Speaker 1: of the window depends on what you do. It probably 58 00:03:25,400 --> 00:03:29,799 Speaker 1: can't be shorter than two hours without creating artificial scarcity. 59 00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:33,600 Speaker 1: More than six hours kind of defeats the purpose. That's 60 00:03:33,600 --> 00:03:37,640 Speaker 1: not flexibility, that's just a set work day. For most 61 00:03:37,720 --> 00:03:40,440 Speaker 1: kinds of work, three to four hours is probably fine, 62 00:03:41,120 --> 00:03:43,640 Speaker 1: so you might all be available from eleven am to 63 00:03:43,720 --> 00:03:47,240 Speaker 1: three pm or from ten am to one pm. Any 64 00:03:47,320 --> 00:03:50,680 Speaker 1: meetings involving more than two people can happen during these windows, 65 00:03:51,240 --> 00:03:54,040 Speaker 1: and since you know all your colleagues are working, you 66 00:03:54,120 --> 00:03:56,400 Speaker 1: know it's fine to just pick up the phone and 67 00:03:56,480 --> 00:04:00,040 Speaker 1: call them. Then you can arrange your schedule around on 68 00:04:00,200 --> 00:04:03,960 Speaker 1: other responsibilities such as parenting. You can work during the 69 00:04:04,080 --> 00:04:06,520 Speaker 1: ten to one window and then from six pm to 70 00:04:06,560 --> 00:04:09,000 Speaker 1: ten pm while your spouse puts the kids to bed 71 00:04:09,040 --> 00:04:12,240 Speaker 1: and watches TV. An early bird might get up at 72 00:04:12,240 --> 00:04:15,040 Speaker 1: five am, work through to the window, and then quit 73 00:04:15,080 --> 00:04:18,760 Speaker 1: for the day at one. The possibilities are pretty endless, 74 00:04:18,800 --> 00:04:21,040 Speaker 1: and the beauty of it is that your schedule doesn't 75 00:04:21,080 --> 00:04:24,160 Speaker 1: even need to look the same every day. Since your 76 00:04:24,160 --> 00:04:26,799 Speaker 1: colleagues know that they can count on the core hours 77 00:04:26,920 --> 00:04:30,120 Speaker 1: during everyone's window, they don't need to know for sure 78 00:04:30,400 --> 00:04:34,080 Speaker 1: whether you're pulling the early or late shift. Of course, 79 00:04:34,120 --> 00:04:36,440 Speaker 1: I know that some managers worry that if they set 80 00:04:36,440 --> 00:04:39,480 Speaker 1: a window, people will assume that this is all they 81 00:04:39,520 --> 00:04:42,960 Speaker 1: need to work. Instead of working eight hours, including that 82 00:04:43,040 --> 00:04:46,080 Speaker 1: ten am to one pm window, people will just work 83 00:04:46,120 --> 00:04:49,880 Speaker 1: those three hours. And I suppose this could happen, but 84 00:04:49,960 --> 00:04:52,880 Speaker 1: if so, This is not an issue with the window 85 00:04:52,960 --> 00:04:57,800 Speaker 1: concept itself. It's that you have an unengaged employee. Make 86 00:04:57,839 --> 00:05:00,360 Speaker 1: sure everyone knows what they're supposed to be a comp wishing, 87 00:05:00,640 --> 00:05:04,480 Speaker 1: and check in frequently to offer guidance. If someone seems stuck, 88 00:05:05,000 --> 00:05:09,200 Speaker 1: step into help. Sometimes you can shift work responsibilities to 89 00:05:09,240 --> 00:05:12,800 Speaker 1: be more in line with someone's interests, or maybe if 90 00:05:12,839 --> 00:05:16,080 Speaker 1: it doesn't work, you need to part ways. But the 91 00:05:16,120 --> 00:05:19,119 Speaker 1: window concept itself is sound enough that it's worth taking 92 00:05:19,120 --> 00:05:21,960 Speaker 1: a bit of a risk. If you're supervising a work 93 00:05:21,960 --> 00:05:24,840 Speaker 1: from home team, propose trying it for a few weeks 94 00:05:24,920 --> 00:05:27,680 Speaker 1: to see how it works if you're not in charge. 95 00:05:28,080 --> 00:05:31,480 Speaker 1: Floated as an idea and mentioned the upsides of being 96 00:05:31,560 --> 00:05:35,040 Speaker 1: absolutely sure when you'll be able to reach people. People 97 00:05:35,080 --> 00:05:38,280 Speaker 1: can't necessarily commit to nine to five in this environment 98 00:05:38,320 --> 00:05:41,599 Speaker 1: each day, but they probably would be able to commit 99 00:05:41,680 --> 00:05:45,640 Speaker 1: from ten to one with five other hours elsewhere, and 100 00:05:45,720 --> 00:05:48,080 Speaker 1: you may be shocked at just how much you can 101 00:05:48,120 --> 00:05:52,920 Speaker 1: get done in the meantime.
