Flexible Work Agreements

GUIDANCE FOR LEADERS (2/2)

4. Lead the way

• Employees in each work arrangement type will need to develop a set of habits and expectations for our evolving work arrangements to be successful • For your team to truly embrace these habits, it is important that leaders model the recommended desired behaviors:

§ Talk about this being open to change § Use technology so everyone knows where you are § Ensure you and your team agree on the times that it is important to be in the office § Set expectations and trust your team to be where they need to be based on your mutually agreed upon approach § Consider participation when scheduling meetings § Understand that productivity is not measured by location § Try and build flexibility into the schedule § Don’t use work arrangements as a form of privilege

5. Keep Checking In

• You will begin to learn what is working and what needs to be adjusted as you and your team engage in this new way of working. Be sure to schedule regular touchpoints with your team to share feedback and talk through concerns.
