On Friday, December 4, organized a Citrix Twitter chat with Cali Yost, founder and CEO of Flex + Strategy group / work + life Fit, Inc. She had much to say about the changing world of work, as well as some new research by ORC international, their businesses and Citrix, and the things that companies can-and should-do to catch up. - NL
The workplace and the way we work has changed
And yet, we organizations, individuals, managers and teams shop not caught on these changes. Nor have we the way we think about set, as we do our work. How can we realize the full potential of this new, more flexible labor reality?
realize First, we must start from the premise that the flexibility is already embedded in the workplace.
conducted and sponsored by the Flex + Strategy Group / Work + Life New research a national random sample of full-time workers in the United States of ORC international Fit Inc. and Citrix confirms this fact:
A1: #workflex 1. embedded: 96% of workers FT US say they have "a degree" of # work flex ... almost every #citrixchat

[1945011[
[1945010A1]: 2. #workflex embedded: 33% said do "most" remote not working on employers website #citrixchat- Cali Williams Yost (@caliyost) December 4, 2015
A1: 3. # work flex embedded: most #workflex informal, occasionally (61%) non-formal arrangements (44%) #citrixchat
- Cali Williams Yost (@caliyost) December 4, 2015
But a lack of clarity, as amplified by a lack of training and guidance and effective use of technology to coordinate and use this flexibility, leading to confusion and inefficiency:
A1: 1. inefficiency: Only 56% believe employers have "strong" commitment #workflex = ambiguity / inefficiency #lostpotential #citrixchat
- Cali Williams Yost (@caliyost) December 4, 2015
A1: 2. inefficiency: majority (52%) received no training / guidance = "seat of the pants fly" / inefficiency # lost potential #citrixchat
- Cali Williams Yost (@caliyost) December 4, 2015
A1: 3. inefficiency : 60% docs using email word are inconsistent stored in the cloud on the computer to update = inefficient access #citrixchat
- Cali Williams Yost (@caliyost) December 4, 2015
This results in lost potential for businesses and individuals:
A1: 1. "why matter": Orgs not optimize huge investments in #tech #openoffice, the default settings create #workflex #citrixchat
- Cali Williams Yost (@caliyost) December 4, 2015
A1: 2. "why matter": waste time on #FWA policy; focus on skills / attitude / behavior of potential #workflex optimize
#citrixchat- Cali Williams Yost (@caliyost) December 4, 2015
A1: 3. "why matter": - Cali Williams Yost you #citrixchat control of their take #worklifefit

A1: 4. "why matter": non-teams shows how individual # work flex aims to coordinate work efficiently #citrixchat

A1: 5. "why matter" not the role #manager as manager / moderator clarification settings objectives #citrixchat, #workflex coordination oversee

trust is decisively supported the work flexibility and to be successful, especially for remote workers:
A2: 9 of 10 FT US workers (remote or not) feel "my boss me to do rely on job", no matter where / when #CitrixChat
- Cali Williams Yost (@caliyost) December 4, 2015
from the perspective of the manager:
A2: trust esp. critical #remote workers: want #workflex = need results #CitrixChat
deliver- Cali Williams Yost (@caliyost) 4 December 2015
A2: 1. "prove trust": support most managers #workflex if makes sense for your work and not work for them or others. #CitrixChat
- Cali Williams Yost (@caliyost) December 4, 2015
Here are steps to take with flexible workers claim can demonstrate and maintain that confidence:
A2: 2 "prove trust": Keep managers up to date on the progress of work and where stuck. If see work to do, most do not care where #work. #Citrixchat
- Cali Williams Yost (@caliyost) December 4, 2015

Staying connected with your team if you ' aren t face to face is important; However, the way we connect and coordinate, not as efficient as it could be:
A3: Right now, 60% of the FT US workers "often" use emails, Word documents, update spreadsheets others on work progress #CitrixChat
- Cali Williams Yost (@caliyost) December 4, 2015
A3: poll found inconsistent (eg cloud, disk computer), which store information harder #citrixchat access #workflex to effciently
- Cali Williams Yost (@caliyost) December 4, 2015
A3: developed Low use of project management software and video / web conferencing and virtual coordination #citrixchat
- Cali Williams Yost (@caliyost) December 4, 2015
here are some tips for staying connected and be more efficient with team coordination:
A3: 1. "stay connected": coordinate #workflex objectives w / team. Do not share "why" #flex only when / where to work.
#citrixchat- Cali Williams Yost (@caliyost) December 4, 2015
A3: 3 . "you are still connected": Learn to stay #tech at work available in conjunction. Most people do not realize / underutilizing #tech #citrixchat
- Cali Williams Yost (@caliyost) December 4, 2015
A3: "stay connected" 4. you give others the permission and "mess" to experiment until comfortable w / #tech skills. #citrixchat
- Cali Williams Yost (@caliyost) December 4, 2015
technology helps each other informed and hold to get the job made in this new, flexible work and life reality. Here is the technology that we use flexible at work:
A4: My whole team is working remotely. Yes, we send, but also use Dropbox for content sharing; love GoToMeeting #citrixchat
Collaborate - Cali Williams Yost (@caliyost) 4 December 2015
A4: further we rely heavily on the good old-fashioned phone call. #citrixchat
- Cali Williams Yost (@caliyost) December 4, 2015
Surprisingly away some of the myths about how workers coordinate and younger employees and communicate not turn out correctly. Teleworkers are more connected than in the office and younger employees are more likely to meet face to face:
A4: Interestingly, survey, remote workers were more likely than cube / open office workers to use the phone
#citrixchat-. Cali Williams Yost (@caliyost) December 4, 2015
A4: The data support what I see: people in the next desk rather than an e-mail as a stand up, walk and talk colleagues. #citrixchat
- Cali Williams Yost (@caliyost) December 4, 2015
A4: Basic: remote employees know they need connection to maintain; Additional efforts to have live one-on-one contact #citrixchat
- Cali Williams Yost (@caliyost) December 4, 2015
A4: survey also revealed that Gen Y and Gen-X to meet likely than Boomers personally to update. #citrixchat
- Cali Williams Yost (@caliyost) December 4, 2015
A4: Possible reason: as resurgence of turntables via downloads, rediscovered #GenX #GenY "personally" in the digital age. #citrixchat
- Cali Williams Yost (@caliyost) December 4, 2015

- Cali Williams Yost (@caliyost) December 4, 2015
A5: 2. biggest fight: I am an extrovert. Had accustomed from the team. Why LOVE phone calls, video chat. #citrixchat
- Cali Williams Yost (@caliyost) December 4, 2015
A5: 3rd biggest fight :. Give me permission with new #tech experimenting mess up, and try again until Master

Due to the investments in technology and cooperative, open workspaces, is the workplace, for the most part already flexible. The question is how the current ambiguity and lack of infrastructure to move that flexibility to be used to help organizations and people to be successful.
