Dan, your response got me thinking: “… and even a park will become our office”… gives a whole new meaning to “meetingplace.”

George, happy to hear your company’s Flex Time policy is reaping positive results… for the workforce and the business! Do you have ROI data you can share?

Jason, thank you for your comment. So glad the topic has you thinking differently about “work” and how location does not define what we do.

Nice topic. I think that in some areas we are going to become more and more mobile, and even a park we’ll become our office. However, there are other departments which will be obliged to be more static. As I see it I like going to the office, make me focus more, but still i like to have the possibility to work from wherever i am.

true flex time is more fun than fixed time.. it happened to our company also.. before we have a fixed time of 8hr + 1 for break. but since we’ve seen that the productivity is not that good enough, we conduct an experiment of Flex Time.. time to time we check the progress then we are very happy to see the result. the employee’s productivity increases and our office became a happy place to work with. we can see the happy and highly motivated worker everyday.

this is a pretty thought provoking post. Most people certainly think of work as a “place” and not “what they do”.

After reading this post I definitely have a new point of view.
I have an Ipad and an Iphone and when I am not in my office, I am still working from those two devices. Emails get responded to at all hours. I have an App on the Ipad that allows me to log into my computer at the office and access everything as if i were sitting at my desk.

Over time, i will certainly be doing more work from home and the car and wherever I am at that exact moment. I will not be limited to working from my office.

Thanks for the post!
