WHAT IS AGILE WORKING?

Agile working is about bringing people, processes, connectivity and technology, time and place together to find the most appropriate and effective way of working to carry out a particular task. It is working within guidelines of the task but without boundaries of how you achieve it.

With the rapid development of technology, office workers are now enabled to work from anywhere in the world. Gone are the days of being wired to a desk with a monitor.

Objectives, boundaries and performance indicators have to be carefully agreed. But once free to work in an agile method, employees become empowered, innovative and more productive. With agile working comes improved job satisfaction, better talent attraction and hopefully, a better work-life balance for your team. Employees are more motivated and agile working leads to better customer satisfaction, and ultimately better bottom line profit for your organisation.

THE BENEFITS OF AGILE WORKING

One of the main advantages of agile working is increased productivity. Providing an activity-based environment and allowing individuals to work from any setting they choose allows the seamless combination of focused, collaborative and creative work, which leads to better productivity.

Aside from increased productivity, there are other key benefits for agile working.

They include:

• Increased freedom and sense of autonomy for workers
• Improved well-being, sense of happiness and job satisfaction
• Reduced operating costs due to better space management

Agile working is becoming more popular, and it is increasingly seen as an attractive model for employees. A survey in 2017 found that some would even be willing to sacrifice a percentage of their annual salary for the opportunity. 86% of the study said they would even change jobs to accommodate this preference.
