Focus on Values: Flexibility
I have worked more evening and weekend hours then I ever have before. So why am I so happy with my 18 week old job at Corner Alliance? Before I started, I read Corner Alliance’s value statement, it seemed good, logical, simple - I didn’t realize at the time that in fact these values would have a huge impact on my approach to my life, both personally and professionally, in particular the value of flexibility.
Flexibility is usually talked about in the tactics that support it – flex work weeks, remote working options, or part time job shares – “We are company XYZ and we support flexibility, as you can tell by the fact that you can occasionally work from home when pre-approved seven days in advance by your manager in writing.” Flexibility is much more rarely talked about as an organization-strengthening value that must be coupled with a culture that not only supports it but lives by it.
