A good manager not only knows manage his/ her workers but also they should to know how to change their traditional workplace. Below there are some impacts that managers should to change in mordern wworkplace
Working hours
By law, flexi time has to be offered by many employers if a worker can provide a good final result. With the increase in enabling technologies, the traditional office is becoming redundant as increasingly worker distribution and home working becomes ever more realisable. Some companies are even going so far as to allow workers the freedom to set the length of their own holidays.
Sustainable office
A watchword for every business these days as consumers and workers become increasingly aware of their environment, greener workplaces are becoming the norm, with ride to work and recycling schemes and carpools only the tip of the iceberg as companies realize the benefits of allowing staffs to work in a more sustainable, life enhancing way.
Cultural shift
With a relaxed attitude towards working hours comes a more relaxed management style, where staff are no longer micromanaged but are trusted to set their own agendas and to work in the way they find the most productive. Linear managerial structures and democratic workplaces are replacing the hierarchical management style of old, where each individual, whether young or old is valued rather than subject to superiority or inferiority. Instead, more experienced workers will mentor inexperienced co-workers, leading by showing rather than telling.
Wellness to work
With a shift to a healthy work life balance has come the idea that healthy employees are happy employees, and the success of workplace wellness schemes is borne out by the productivity increases as days lost to absenteeism and ill health fall. The trend looks set to continue as company gym membership, health insurance or even in-house massage and free fruit schemes become increasingly commonplace.
Social networks
As the location of staff becomes increasingly fragmented, some companies are setting up their own social networks to allow socialization between staff who may rarely meet face to face. The awareness that down time among work colleagues is important for developing relationships and encouraging collaboration is increasing among forward thinking businesses who believe staff happiness is the key to productivity.
