Create Work Freedom

Creating Freedom to Work Your Own Way Rather Than 9-5

As a workforce we’ve discovered in recent years the value of flexible work arrangements. Many people are finding that traditional 9-5 jobs don't suit their life or work style, and are seeking more autonomy and freedom in their work. So what are the proven benefits of creating freedom to work your own way rather than sticking to a strict 9-5 schedule.

The main benefits of working your own way are:

  • Increased Productivity - when people are given the freedom to work when and where they are most productive, they are usually able to accomplish more in less time. By eliminating the constraints of a traditional work schedule, people can take advantage of their natural rhythms and energy levels to get work done more efficiently.

  • Increased Job Satisfaction and Morale - when people are given the flexibility to work in a way that suits them, they feel more valued and trusted by their employer. This can lead to increased motivation and engagement in their work, as they feel more ownership and responsibility for their tasks. As a result, companies that offer flexible work arrangements are often able to attract and retain top talent.

  • Greater Creativity and Innovation - when people are given the freedom to work in their own way, they are more likely to come up with new ideas and approaches to problems. By breaking away from the traditional 9-5 mindset, companies can tap into the unique perspectives and talents of their employees, leading to more innovation and growth.

All of the above benefits lead to an overall better work-life balance for you. As and example, you could have a morning stretch or yoga session or time to spend with your children before school drop off, followed by work for a few hours in the morning (given you zero commute time), go for a jog or do some light cardio followed by lunch, then work a few hours in the afternoon, using your late afternoon for family, friends, playing a sport or walking the dog.

If you can be productive with your time and workload, why should you be at your desk from 9-5?
