They evaluated my performance by how hard they&nbsp;<em>felt&nbsp;<\/em>I was working, and that was often measured by how long I sat in my chair. The guy next to me sat in his chair just as long as I did, but was half as productive. Our earnings and potential earnings were the same. I won\u2019t lie. It was disheartening.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When I left to start my own accounting firm, I wanted to create a workplace environment in which results were the only thing measured, recognized, and rewarded. I wanted to do away with the administrative quagmire of time tracking and the subjective measurement of workplace performance. To do this, I modeled my company\u2019s management system on the&nbsp;<a href=\"http:\/\/gorowe.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Results-Only Work Environment (ROWE)<\/a>&nbsp;system developed by Carli Ressler and Jody Thompson.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-x-large-font-size\"><strong>What is ROWE?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The basic logic is this: When, where, and how you do your work is less important than what results from that work. In other words, ROWE is about productivity and output, not hours spent at a desk or in meetings. ROWE provides a great deal of flexibility for employers and employees; however, this eschewing of the traditional management model has gotten mixed reception.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Proponents of ROWE\u00a0champion the myriad benefits, including potential cost savings, improved\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/taxprocenter.proconnect.intuit.com\/tag\/life-changes\/\">work\/life balance<\/a>, increased productivity, and lower staff turnover. Opponents point to the lack of centralized oversight, reliance on self-discipline, and the potential for unethical behavior arising from a results-at-any-cost mindset as strikes against ROWE\u2019s effectiveness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Despite the controversy, I saw ROWE as a possible competitive advantage\u2013a tool that could bring our team closer together, and help our associates grow and succeed. Once we implemented ROWE, our administrative burden significantly reduced, and nearly all our employees expressed greater satisfaction with the level of control they had over their schedules.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here are the five key principles that my team and I used to guide us through the process:&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading has-large-font-size\">1. Be accessible anywhere, anytime<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>The whole approach collapses if you don\u2019t have the infrastructure to support it. In practice, this means shifting your filing and admin to a cloud service, such as Google Drive or&nbsp;<a href=\"http:\/\/dropbox.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Dropbox<\/a>. In our case, providing outsourced bookkeeping services also required getting our clients to use&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/quickbooks.intuit.com\/accountants\/products-solutions\/accounting\/quickbooks-online\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">QuickBooks Online<\/a>&nbsp;so that associates could interface with clients remotely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading has-large-font-size\">2. Come from a place of trust<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Trust your employees from day one. Trust that they don\u2019t need strict office hours, do their work, take sick leave only when necessary, and complete or delegate tasks to make sure clients are cared for before they go on vacation. Remember that this level of freedom is new for you, but likely for them as well. Give your employees some space and flexibility, and only withdraw your trust if it is proven to be misplaced.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading has-large-font-size\">3. Delegate ownership instead of tasks<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Creating a functional, flexible, results-driven workplace means shifting away from a\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/taxprocenter.proconnect.intuit.com\/practice-management\/how-to-manage-employees-for-retention-and-productivity\/\">\u201cDo this, do that\u201d style of management<\/a>. For me, this was really challenging. I had to learn to pass total responsibility for a client to an employee and say, \u201cYou own this file. If anything goes wrong, find a way to fix it.\u201d The associates who stepped up became more entrepreneurial and started to see themselves as trusted advisors, not just junior level data entry clerks. It was a huge boost for employee morale.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading has-large-font-size\">4. Train with intention<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Of course, handing over responsibility means training staff more frequently and more intentionally. We not only had to explain what the associate needed to do, but also why, and more importantly, what success or good results looked like. This set clear expectations. Our associates knew what to do, how to do it and how to tell if they were doing it well. They also had the competence and the trust needed to excel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading has-large-font-size\">5. Clearly define the meaning of \u201cresults\u201d<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re going to compensate people based on results such as KPIs, you must&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.teeupnextgen.com\/post\/cfo-uses-kpi-to-increase-profit\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\">define, measure and reward those results<\/a>. In addition, those results must be reflected in the compensation structure you establish, and the rationale of the compensation structure must be clearly communicated to your associates. We decided to offer a base salary, plus a monthly results-based bonus. This made discrepancies in pay rates more fair because people could see and understand how and why the top producers earned more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-x-large-font-size\"><strong>Results of ROWE<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>ROWE significantly contributed to employee morale. They understood what a \u201cresult\u201d was, what it meant and how they were compensated on it. The results tied into the company goals, so when the associates won, the whole firm won.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Get a first-person perspective on how using the ROWE approach energized a firm.
