<v Speaker 1>Apple podcast or wherever you get your podcasts. M hmm,

0:01:34.800 --> 0:01:38.480
<v Speaker 1>this is black Welcome to the New Corner Office the

0:01:38.560 --> 0:01:41.520
<v Speaker 1>podcast where we share strategies for thriving in the new

0:01:41.520 --> 0:01:45.360
<v Speaker 1>world of work, were location and hours are more flexible

0:01:45.520 --> 0:01:49.160
<v Speaker 1>than in the past. Today's tip is to try using

0:01:49.200 --> 0:01:52.840
<v Speaker 1>windowed work. That is, set a window in which everyone

0:01:52.920 --> 0:01:56.880
<v Speaker 1>is available for collaboration, then let people set their own

0:01:56.880 --> 0:02:01.080
<v Speaker 1>hours around that core. Whether you are a veteran remote

0:02:01.080 --> 0:02:04.680
<v Speaker 1>worker or newly transitioned into a less traditional work setup,

0:02:05.200 --> 0:02:08.440
<v Speaker 1>you've probably struggled to fit rigid nine to five work

0:02:08.480 --> 0:02:11.880
<v Speaker 1>hours into your life at one time or another. This

0:02:11.960 --> 0:02:14.839
<v Speaker 1>could be because you have children, or pets or other

0:02:14.919 --> 0:02:17.840
<v Speaker 1>daily demands, or maybe it's just that you don't do

0:02:17.919 --> 0:02:22.720
<v Speaker 1>your best work during traditional work hours. Theoretically, working from

0:02:22.720 --> 0:02:26.240
<v Speaker 1>home can allow for more flexibility. No one needs to

0:02:26.280 --> 0:02:29.640
<v Speaker 1>open up the office at odd hours without a commute,

0:02:30.000 --> 0:02:33.280
<v Speaker 1>you can work split shifts. Unless you live next door

0:02:33.320 --> 0:02:36.120
<v Speaker 1>to your office, you probably won't work from eight am

0:02:36.160 --> 0:02:38.360
<v Speaker 1>to noon and then four to eight pm with a

0:02:38.440 --> 0:02:41.640
<v Speaker 1>trip home in between. But from a home office this

0:02:41.680 --> 0:02:44.799
<v Speaker 1>can work just fine. Of course, many of us work

0:02:44.840 --> 0:02:47.840
<v Speaker 1>closely with teams, which means that one person working six

0:02:47.880 --> 0:02:50.800
<v Speaker 1>am to two pm and someone else working two pm

0:02:50.840 --> 0:02:54.560
<v Speaker 1>to ten pm just isn't going to fly. This brings

0:02:54.639 --> 0:02:57.840
<v Speaker 1>us to the idea of windowed work, one tool that

0:02:57.919 --> 0:03:00.880
<v Speaker 1>may remove some stress and make your life easier while

0:03:00.880 --> 0:03:04.080
<v Speaker 1>simultaneously allowing you and your team to perform at your best.

0:03:05.200 --> 0:03:08.560
<v Speaker 1>Here's how this works. As a team, you agree on

0:03:08.639 --> 0:03:12.440
<v Speaker 1>a shared block of time during which you can all meet, collaborate,

0:03:12.560 --> 0:03:15.760
<v Speaker 1>and consult with each other. Most people like to schedule

0:03:15.800 --> 0:03:18.120
<v Speaker 1>this window during the middle of the day, just to

0:03:18.160 --> 0:03:21.960
<v Speaker 1>be most accommodating to people's different work styles. The length

0:03:21.960 --> 0:03:25.359
<v Speaker 1>of the window depends on what you do. It probably

0:03:25.400 --> 0:03:29.799
<v Speaker 1>can't be shorter than two hours without creating artificial scarcity.

0:03:30.000 --> 0:03:33.600
<v Speaker 1>More than six hours kind of defeats the purpose. That's

0:03:33.600 --> 0:03:37.640
<v Speaker 1>not flexibility, that's just a set work day. For most

0:03:37.720 --> 0:03:40.440
<v Speaker 1>kinds of work, three to four hours is probably fine,

0:03:41.120 --> 0:03:43.640
<v Speaker 1>so you might all be available from eleven am to

0:03:43.720 --> 0:03:47.240
<v Speaker 1>three pm or from ten am to one pm. Any

0:03:47.320 --> 0:03:50.680
<v Speaker 1>meetings involving more than two people can happen during these windows,

0:03:51.240 --> 0:03:54.040
<v Speaker 1>and since you know all your colleagues are working, you

0:03:54.120 --> 0:03:56.400
<v Speaker 1>know it's fine to just pick up the phone and

0:03:56.480 --> 0:04:00.040
<v Speaker 1>call them. Then you can arrange your schedule around on

0:04:00.200 --> 0:04:03.960
<v Speaker 1>other responsibilities such as parenting. You can work during the

0:04:04.080 --> 0:04:06.520
<v Speaker 1>ten to one window and then from six pm to

0:04:06.560 --> 0:04:09.000
<v Speaker 1>ten pm while your spouse puts the kids to bed

0:04:09.040 --> 0:04:12.240
<v Speaker 1>and watches TV. An early bird might get up at

0:04:12.240 --> 0:04:15.040
<v Speaker 1>five am, work through to the window, and then quit

0:04:15.080 --> 0:04:18.760
<v Speaker 1>for the day at one. The possibilities are pretty endless,

0:04:18.800 --> 0:04:21.040
<v Speaker 1>and the beauty of it is that your schedule doesn't

0:04:21.080 --> 0:04:24.160
<v Speaker 1>even need to look the same every day. Since your

0:04:24.160 --> 0:04:26.799
<v Speaker 1>colleagues know that they can count on the core hours

0:04:26.920 --> 0:04:30.120
<v Speaker 1>during everyone's window, they don't need to know for sure

0:04:30.400 --> 0:04:34.080
<v Speaker 1>whether you're pulling the early or late shift. Of course,

0:04:34.120 --> 0:04:36.440
<v Speaker 1>I know that some managers worry that if they set

0:04:36.440 --> 0:04:39.480
<v Speaker 1>a window, people will assume that this is all they

0:04:39.520 --> 0:04:42.960
<v Speaker 1>need to work. Instead of working eight hours, including that

0:04:43.040 --> 0:04:46.080
<v Speaker 1>ten am to one pm window, people will just work

0:04:46.120 --> 0:04:49.880
<v Speaker 1>those three hours. And I suppose this could happen, but

0:04:49.960 --> 0:04:52.880
<v Speaker 1>if so, This is not an issue with the window

0:04:52.960 --> 0:04:57.800
<v Speaker 1>concept itself. It's that you have an unengaged employee. Make

0:04:57.839 --> 0:05:00.360
<v Speaker 1>sure everyone knows what they're supposed to be a comp wishing,

0:05:00.640 --> 0:05:04.480
<v Speaker 1>and check in frequently to offer guidance. If someone seems stuck,

0:05:05.000 --> 0:05:09.200
<v Speaker 1>step into help. Sometimes you can shift work responsibilities to

0:05:09.240 --> 0:05:12.800
<v Speaker 1>be more in line with someone's interests, or maybe if

0:05:12.839 --> 0:05:16.080
<v Speaker 1>it doesn't work, you need to part ways. But the

0:05:16.120 --> 0:05:19.119
<v Speaker 1>window concept itself is sound enough that it's worth taking

0:05:19.120 --> 0:05:21.960
<v Speaker 1>a bit of a risk. If you're supervising a work

0:05:21.960 --> 0:05:24.840
<v Speaker 1>from home team, propose trying it for a few weeks

0:05:24.920 --> 0:05:27.680
<v Speaker 1>to see how it works if you're not in charge.

0:05:28.080 --> 0:05:31.480
<v Speaker 1>Floated as an idea and mentioned the upsides of being

0:05:31.560 --> 0:05:35.040
<v Speaker 1>absolutely sure when you'll be able to reach people. People

0:05:35.080 --> 0:05:38.280
<v Speaker 1>can't necessarily commit to nine to five in this environment

0:05:38.320 --> 0:05:41.599
<v Speaker 1>each day, but they probably would be able to commit

0:05:41.680 --> 0:05:45.640
<v Speaker 1>from ten to one with five other hours elsewhere, and

0:05:45.720 --> 0:05:48.080
<v Speaker 1>you may be shocked at just how much you can

0:05:48.120 --> 0:05:52.920
