To a greater or lesser extent, people adapt to new times with relative ease. However, companies cannot always say the same. And I\u2019ll explain why.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Advertising<\/strong> knows perfectly well what society desires. They study our wants and wrap their products in moments we dream of so that we think buying that product will bring us closer to achieving our dreams. I invite you to analyze current advertising: freedom, extreme sports, surfboards, or paradisiacal beaches are recurring elements in today\u2019s ads, and it\u2019s no coincidence. Today, consumers seek a balance between <strong>personal and professional life<\/strong>. We want to earn money, but we also want time to enjoy life, our loved ones, and ultimately\u2026 <strong>LIVE!<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Are companies adapting to these changes? Are they helping employees achieve their dreams outside the office?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Technology clearly allows us to work from anywhere in the world while fulfilling our professional obligations. Why not take advantage of this? This, in part, is what I mean when I say that companies haven\u2019t fully evolved. Perhaps what we still need is a shift in mindset. A change in which all parties play their part: the \u201cboss\u201d trusting their team and offering some flexibility, and employees working responsibly when they\u2019re not in the office.<\/p>\n<h2>Ideas to Improve Performance and Work-Life Balance<\/h2>\n<p>Today we want to share some measures implemented in our agency, aimed at balancing the team\u2019s personal and professional life.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Measure by objectives:<\/strong> Employees know their goals clearly, and their performance will be evaluated based on these goals at the end of the year. Meeting objectives has nothing to do with sitting in a chair for hours. It\u2019s about results. This eliminates the common practice in many companies of \u201cseat warmers\u201d working long, meaningless hours.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Start earlier to finish earlier:<\/strong> Starting at 9:30 or having 2-hour lunches makes the workday feel endless. By Friday, it feels like all you\u2019ve done all week is sleep and work. On top of that, you\u2019re so tired on Friday that all you want is dinner and bed. The <strong>8-8-8 concept<\/strong> is truly interesting: <strong>8 hours for work, 8 hours for sleep, and 8 hours for YOU.<\/strong> This can work if the workday starts around 8 AM and lunch lasts 1 hour. That way, you\u2019re out of the office by 5:30 PM, with time for yourself, family, or hobbies.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Remote work:<\/strong> If objectives are clearly defined, it\u2019s not necessary to spend 100% of the workday in the office. Many employees appreciate the ability to work from home and avoid commuting on certain days of the week.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>At <a href=\"https:\/\/dossetenta.com\/\">Dos Setenta<\/a>, we have been implementing these changes over the past year, and thanks to them, productivity and quality have improved, employee turnover has decreased, and, above all, there is great trust in the work of every team member.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><span class=\"span-reading-time rt-reading-time\" style=\"display: block;\"><span class=\"rt-label rt-prefix\">Tiempo de lectura:<\/span> <span class=\"rt-time\"> 2<\/span> <span class=\"rt-label rt-postfix\">minutos<\/span><\/span>How We Work and How Companies Could Work It is evident that technology is changing our lives.
