Meet Prashant, a software developer from India,
he is struggling with work/life balance.




            “      I need to get up early no matter what. Sometimes I
                   work late night to finish some work and still end up
                   getting up early. I find I have less and less time to
                   deal with other things in my life since the job is


                                                                     ”
                   taking up most of my time and energy.
Sounds familiar?
Is your work STEALING your sleep too?
Thomas Bell introduced a concept
to Prashant
ROWE
   (Results Only Work Environment)
          Where employees are evaluated on their results,
rather than the amount of time that they spend sitting at their desks.
The basic concept is
     All that matters is that the work gets done.
If you want to leave at 2pm and go watch your kids' school play,
                          you can
         If you're feeling stressed and unproductive,
    and want to go cycling instead of working on a Tuesday,
                         go for it!
          If you want to work from home every day,
                       go ahead!
Prashant suggested this idea to his boss, to his surprise,
his boss agreed and even assigned him to lead this project.
Prashant introduced ROWE to his colleges, they’re all very happy.
1 months later, their company changed completely, employee
engagement goes up strongly, but surprisingly so does
productivity. They can finish work as soon as possible,
sometimes in the office, sometimes at home, they have
enough time to do other things: sleep, exercise, shopping, play
with the kids, etc……



                            Prashant is happy.

                        everyone is happy.
So, can you lead a life like Prashant?

           Sure!
You can suggest the ROWE in your company,
or you can always find a place where they’re using this,
           (Valve       is a wonderful example)

       or you just quit and become a freelancer.
Examine your value system
what is the meaning of work?
Mark Famy’s father in law always tells him


“   don’t work yourself to the ground...Health is wealth.

                Our creative+ team members love this quote,
                                                              ”
                          so it’s a small gift for you.
ROWE    Join the movement
Start to lead a balanced life today
