The Big Picture

Creates a flexible work culture

1.  Management gives employees freedom of choice and action for when and where they work. Set your employees free from the concepts of “8 to 5” and that work is something that can take place only at the office. Work is an activity – not a place.

2.  Life Navigation courses. 15 hours per employee. Educating Super Navigators is a collective process for developing individual work times and spaces for work. When and where do you want to work?

3.  Implement flexibility in the culture and structure of the organization. Ensure that a flexible work culture is anchored in the organization’s personnel policies, email culture, and meeting culture and in the branding of the workplace.

Making Companies More Attractive

Creates a flexible work culture

Barriers to a flexible workplace•  It is taboo to meet after 9 – a productive person meets

early. •  Leaders tend to favour early risers (A-persons) - those who

arrive at the office early. •  Flex time with fixed hours between 9am and 3pm. •  Your own mindset. Are you willing to set yourself free.

•  Unleash the energy! Work in your own rhythm.

•  We can make it possible for the early risers to start work at 7 in the morning and the late risers to start at 10. This could increase productivity in the companies, increase the quality

of life, and decrease sick leaves and stress.
