Corporate and individual resistance to new ways of working areoften imbedded within a company's culture--and can stifle changeand hinder productivity. Organized around eight simple yet criticalprinciples of the new workplace, Work Naked challenges long-heldbeliefs about the appropriate time, place, look, and feel ofproductivity in the knowledge era, showing how a wealth of hiddenpotential can be released by giving employees the freedom to workhow, when, and where they want. Cindy Froggatt suggests workplaceoptions that can help balance work and personal life, and helpsmanagers address the needs of the many knowledge workers whorequire a greater degree of autonomy to perform, create, andinnovate. She presents numerous examples of companies of differentsizes and types that have instituted telework or alternativeprograms--and clearly explains the benefits and pitfalls ofimplementing them.
