How BestBuy is eliminating meetings and facetime!
As part of my holiday break, I made a pact to clean out the 40 magazines that I had been collecting under my coffeetable. I am almost done and I have to say that i am glad that I forced myself to do it since it made me realize why I subscribed to all of the magazines in the first place…interesting articles about business issues, technology, travel, and outdoor activities.
One article which I thought was particularly interesting and enlightening was an article about BestBuy’s attempt to establish a good work-life balance. They do not micromanage their employees and they do not force "face-time". The results….an increase in productivity and lower turnover in every division that it was implemented in.
