Are your work hours out of control?

Do you need to work at scheduling your free and family time more than your work time?

Concepts like flex time and the constantly connected worker create an environment which might be more drag then boost to productivity.

Many argue that for start-ups ridged work hours are an anachronism that’s holding them back.

The argument is that entrepreneurs thrive on their 24/7 work weeks and their creativity is enabled by these hard working flexible hours.

One wonders if the theory of diminishing returns might apply.

Workers are struggling as they are more and more putting in a regular work day and then performing ongoing off hour work tasks via a myriad devices that keep them looped in and working till exhaustion forces them off line.

What seems like a great advantage in maximum hours and limitless employee potential might in fact be dragging the company down as tired employees function at less than peak performance.

When did flexibility become limitless and never ending hours? How can employers create structure and measurement to assure they are getting 8 quality hours verses 16 over taxed hours.

Join us as we explore alternatives to the 24 hour work day.
