Clocking in or outcomes focused?
Here's a thought for you. Implement a results only work environment where employees are evaluated based on the work that they produce rather than that time that they have spent in the office.
Another fun fact for you, did you know that the 8 hour workday was in fact created during the industrial revolution.
And during the industrial revolution, there was a lot of factory working
and manufacturing kind of work.
So the idea about the eight hour work day was the fact that you'd work during the day for eight hours, you'd have eight hours of personal time and eight hours of sleep
long gone are those days.
So consider reviewing your workplace policy as to how many hours people should be working because really - should it not be about the results that people deliver rather than the hours that they put in?

Have you ever felt the rigid lines of a workplace hierarchy constricting your potential?
You're not alone.
In this episode, I peel back the layers of traditional organisational structures and examine the often unexpected ways they shape our work culture and inter-office relationships.
As we navigate the established chain of command and dissect the decision-making process, we uncover the delicate balance between efficiency and the quashing of innovative spirit that hierarchical systems can impose.
I discuss transformative strategies like inclusive decision-making workshops, job rotation programs, and the simple yet powerful knowledge cafe concept.
These tools are more than just buzzwords; they represent a movement towards a democratic workplace where each voice is valued, and every team member can contribute to their fullest.
Tune in to find out how these approaches can dismantle stifling hierarchies and help us build a more cooperative and thriving work environment.

Is your knowledge contemporary?
Are you and your team keeping on top of all of the industry changes that are happening, or the contemporary you need to know.
And the reason I ask this is because when I led a huge HR team of, you know, HR professionals, We're the worst people to develop ourselves, I tell you, and I love learning.
So it was really difficult for me to be in a team that didn't really value learning for themselves.So what I did, as a result, in our team meetings, we used to have, one little agenda item ten minutes, and everybody used to take turns in taking this agenda item.
And what it was was what is a cool new thing happening beyond our organization, beyond our little bubble, in our industry or within our specialism that we work in, that we truly to know about. And the person, whoever was presenting or reporting back, would be creative. They might bring a white paper for us to read, or might present to us on this wonderful novel thing happening in the HR world in my world that I was in, or that share whatever else.
So my question to you is, how are you staying on top of All of the things that out there? Of the contemporary knowledge that you truly do need to be aware of, if not for now, then definitely for the future.
Try this example of having just a ten minute agenda item within your team meeting for people to bring some cool new to the conversation. Oh my gosh, your team meeting will be much better for it as well!
Let me know how you go.

Welcome back to another insightful episode of Ways to Change your Workplace, where we strive to create meaningful discussions around improving our professional environments. This week, listen in as I'm joined by Jamie Lee, an Executive Coach from New York, who brings a wealth of knowledge on the complex dynamics women face in office politics.
Website: https://www.jamieleecoach.comLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/leejieunjamie/Podcast: https://podcast.jamieleecoach.com
Together, we unpack the subtleties of navigating workplace hierarchies and the often unspoken rules that govern our career trajectories, especially poignant during International Women's Week.
In our sometimes hilarious and genuinely heartfelt exchange, Jamie and I tackle the reality of being the only woman in high-pressure, male-dominated fields, like hedge fund trading desks and startup leadership teams.
The psychological toll of such environments can't be overstressed, and we discuss how hyper-vigilance affects creativity and presence at work.
We also delve into the exhausting need to conform to masculine behaviors, and the profound importance of maintaining one's integrity amidst the inauthenticity that office politics may demand.
Finally, we address the elephant in the room: workplace toxicity and the quest for parity.
The conversation moves beyond just identifying the issues, as we also share personal experiences and reflect on the larger systemic changes necessary for creating equitable workspaces.
The importance of personal space, the freedom of self-expression, and the impact of leadership on team dynamics are all explored, leaving you with a deeper understanding of the challenges and potential solutions for fostering a fair and supportive professional environment. Join us in this crucial conversation and if it resonates with you, be sure to subscribe for more empowering discussions.

Are you stuck in the middle as a leader or or a manager? ...
...In the middle of the board, the executive decisions, and then everything that your team and the people that report to you are telling you, and you are stuck in the middle.
So a bit of a piggy in the middle situation is what you may well be in.
And when you such a situation when there's change happening in an organization,
especially, you as the manager or the leader have to relay the messaging from the top.
Now, you might not believe in it. You might think it's a bucket of crap.
However, you still have to tow the corporate line, and that's where a lot of internal conflict happens for such people.
So I've got some tips for you in that respect. If you do have in or conflict, and you do disagree with whatever changes, you know, the powers that beer making, but you have to relay it to the rest of your team...
Remain factual. Listen, allow your team to ask questions and respond to those
questions without being emotive.
Truth is you are there to be the messenger of whatever news it is, allowing your motions to get into the mix and, disagreeing with whatever changes have been made, may be career suicide for you.
If you are able to disagree and you have valid reasons and solutions for anti the change,
then absolutely go forth and share. But often, it is the case that the powers that be
in their wonderful ivory towers who often have no idea of what's happening on the ground level, make wonderful decisions. Sometimes they are brain farts (!) sometimes they are really good decisions, that you have to relay back to the rest of the team,
and it puts you in a tough situation.
So relay the information back without being emotive.
Listen, allow your team to ask you questions.
I wish you well in being the piggy in the middle.
It's a tough one, but it can be done!Support the Show.

Remember that.

Growth will also feel like loss.
Completely so, as we change,

Do not self reject!
The amount of friends I have who say, oh, no. no.
I can't apply for this job or that job because I don't meet a hundred percent of the criteria.Fuck that. Who cares? It does not matter.
Your skills are transferrable, and the whole point of applying for a new job or a new opportunity is that you're gonna learn new things!
You're not gonna be that fully perfect person that's just going to know everything and go there from day one and, you know, begin working as if you know everything about the organization.
No. That is not what is expected of you either!
So please do not self reject.
There's no need for it.
There's far more to you, and remember your skills are transferable.
