Travailler au bureau est-il toujours plus productif?



 La décision de Yahoo d'empêcher leurs employés de travailler à la maison a entraîné une réflexion sur la productivité du travail à domicile. À l'ère de la technologie, les employés peuvent effectivement effectuer de nombreuses tâches sans se rendre au bureau. Est-profitable pour l'entreprise? Yahoo semble croire que non, mais tous ne sont pas d'accord. Une réflexion intéressante...

 "The idea that everyone must be in the office five days a week harks back to a time when workers didn’t have the proper tools to work from home. But we live in a very different world today. Given that technology has made employees accessible around the clock, and that they are often expected to work after hours, the traditional 40-hour schedule is in many ways an anachronism.

 Yahoo argued in a memo announcing its new policy that “some of the best decisions and insights come from hallway and cafeteria discussions, meeting new people and impromptu team meetings.” That is certainly true. But it is also the case that some of the most creative insights come only when you give the human brain unstructured time to think. Opportunities for such freewheeling thought rarely present themselves amid the hustle and bustle of daily office life.

 IN today’s world, where we are constantly connected, the office should be reconceived as a gathering place to communicate ideas and to reinforce personal bonds. Beyond that, employees should be given the respect, and the responsibility, to manage their own schedules and complete their work on their own time, from wherever they choose. This is the principle we followed in my business, called Khush. We came to the office three days a week for five hours a day, starting around noon."
