Results only Work Environment

Should the bosses loosen the reins a bit??

With the world shrinking, and technology connecting every formidable corner of the world, should your boss relax and loosen the reins a little? Traditional bosses vs. modern bosses......... who is able to make it happen?

Sitting in a cubicle do you know whether your employee is working? May be if he goes out for a game of putt putt, the strategies used to play the game might trigger a strategy for work.

With gas prices soaring, employees looking for a work life balance, and the increasing stress and guilt levels .......... bosses should consider a RESULTS ONLY ENVIRONMENT. As long as the work gets done, why should the boss monitor the hallways? A "results only environment" will make the employee more responsible for his actions, and be accountable for it.

Advantages for the employee:

 Measurable performance (An advantage for the boss too!!)
 Increases and improves creativity
 Generation of new ideas
 Improves Work life balance
 Improves the overall health of the employee - reduced stress levels

Disadvantages for the employee:

Since it is a "results only environment", I guess if the employee does not produce satisfactory results HE's FIRED.

Innovative Employer Branding - Opera Software Careers Page

Innovative advertising of the company on the careers website. This advertisement shouts diversity, intelligence, innovation, opportunity for the creative mind, technology, and so much more.

I was very attracted to this because it reaches out to the crowd. Each of the models are dressed in clothes that express themselves. The words used seem genuine, personal and reach out to the potential candidate (whichever character they can relate to). The video also informs the potential candidate what they need to hear about the company.

A great way to deliver the vision & mission of the company.

Thanks for stopping by.

Did you hire the right consultant? A comment on ASUG's EDGE

Well you have to be a member of ASUG to have access. I was researching ASUG's new website. They have the networking feature called EDGE. You can write reviews about a company and an individual. This helps you choose the right implementation partner company or consultant for your SAP implementation. This is a boon and a bane. Its a boon if your company or your consultant has performed very well at the client location. It is a bane if they did not. Some of the reviews that I read contain reviews not only about the technical knowledge of the consultant/s, but also about the attitude and personality of the consultant/s.

The consultant who was given a bad review is from one of the BIG 4 consulting company and a Senior consultant. The overall comment was " was very knowledgeable, however was not always very open and willing to work with us." The reviewer checked that he will not hire this consultant again.

The consultant who was given a good review is from a small SAP consulting company. The overall comment was " This was the first time I had worked with as well as and it was a good experience. I will continue our business relationship for future opportunities to work together."


Do we hire consultants just for technical requirements? Or do we hire consultants to be customer service associates while performing technical functions? Information technology belongs to the Service industry. All consultants hired must come with the right attitude, flexibility and tolerance of their customers within reasonable boundaries. After all in a service industry, the customer is always right ;). Although most part of the job requires the consultant's technical skills, the most critical part of the job is interacting with the customer.
