Giving Advice on BusinessWeek blog

We have an exciting announcement. Work-life balance guru and BusinessWeek reporter, Michelle Conlin, has invited us to be guest experts on her blog at BusinessWeek.

In a recent post, Michelle said Why Work Sucks and How to Fix It was “this year’s best book on work-life balance.” She has also invited readers to ask us specific questions about how people can use the Results-Only Work Environment mindset to make their workplaces better. Click on the link above to get access to the post. We will be answering your company-specific questions a few times a week.

Here’s a sample of what people want to know:

I would like to know how I can get my company to seriously look at your techniques. I’m in IT and I work for a place that has applications that need to be supported 7am-6pm Mon-Fri. I just changed to this job from a company that allowed me to work from home for 7 of the 8 years I worked there and since coming to this new employer, I’ve had health issues that allowed me to work the majority of the time from home as well; however, it is not this employers policy to allow this under normal circumstances. This is what I want to change–I have had awesome reviews and I’ve worked from home 98% of the time–I can do my job from home-I even went through a major conversion remoting in. I have less stress, more privacy for my conference calls, less interruptions and when I’m waiting for something, I can throw in a load of laundry. It is WIN-WIN - how do I get them to see this?

Thanks again to Michelle for the high praise and for the wonderful opportunity to help advance this cause. We’ll keep you posted on how it goes, but we also encourage you to visit the site and make your own contribution. Together, we can make ROWE the status quo.
