"Designing the Job"
o According to your textbook Nelson and Quick, (2015) Results Only Work Environment (ROWE) allows employees to work completely flexible schedules based on their ability to meet measurable goals. Employees are allowed to come and go as they please. Briefly describe one (1) company in which you are familiar with and explain in detail whether or not ROWE would work at this company.
The company I am most familar with is the Federal Government, we are allowed to set our own weekly schedules. The requirements are that we work within the core hours which are between 8 and three and that we complete 40 hours a week. It is based on each individual group in which you work in, and the amount of work you may have to perform. The flexible schedule should be pre-approved by your individual supervisor and can split between several employees. For example several employees in the group could work a set schedule from 6:30 to 4:00 which is a ten hour schedule and this gives them a four day work week, with a chosen day off. The supervisor would make sure that not to many people have the same schduled day off so the office has coverage. Others may choose to do an 9 hour schedule with one 8 hour day and a day off evey other week. Than there are those who choose to just do a 8 hour work schedule with five days a week, with the option of flexible hours, which means they can have a set time schdule but on day that they may need to come in late they can flex there time. The method of ROWE works really well especially in areas like our IT and security departments who may need to have people in the building late hours. I found a good website that agrees with the Rowe environment within the work place www.gorowe.com
