Today’s Time Well Spent from our friends at Kronos reminds me of that old saying, “ Good, Fast, or Cheap – Pick Two ”. The saying represents the idea that we can get quality quickly, but it will cost us. If we want it quickly and inexpensively, then it might not be that good. And to get something good at a low price, it might take some extra time. In this case, we’re applying the concept to staffing the operation.

We’ve come a long way from the days when a person spent an entire career at one company, working full time, 9-to-5, five days a week. Today’s employees want more options, and working part-time is one of them. So, what exactly qualifies as part-time work? The answer varies depending on the company. There’s no federal law that sets the number of hours an employee must work to be considered part-time or full-time.

I want to share with you this high-level thought. I don’t know that I have all of the answers here, but I think as business professionals, there might come a time when we’re asked to weigh in on the concept. I was at a conference earlier this year where there were several conversations about organizational vision, mission, and values. That totally makes sense because it aligns with what organizations are thinking about.

I think as a general rule, people are happy when their expectations are met. If Mr. Bartender and I go out to dinner, we expect a nice meal. When our expectations are met, we’re happy. When they aren’t, we’re disappointed. Same happens with candidates. When they accept a job offer, they expect to like their job and the company they’re working for. When that happens, they’re happy and engaged.

Several years ago, data gathered from sociometric badges (wearable devices equipped with sensors) revealed something interesting about the Bank of America’s call center employees: those with the fastest “average call handling time” were also the most social. The company then decided to introduce team-wide coffee breaks. The result, as reported in this New Yorker article , was a $15 million increase in annual productivity.

When I worked in Corporate America, I often worked during the last two weeks of the year. At first, because I had to. Everyone else had more seniority and vacation time. Later in my career, I did it because I wanted to. The last two weeks of the year are so nice and quiet. Fewer meetings. Less email. I could catch up and cross off a few things on my “to-do” list.
