Abstract

This #EngShort by the IET looks at the use of #holacracy at work, where there is a hierarchy of work instead of people. #Innovation can be found in products and services but also in how a company is run. This includes allowing employees to structures their own work and time, making teams that #selfmanage more agile and efficient. Some companies allow employees to set their own pay. This creates transparency and trust between employees and the company, which in turn, can boost #productivity. But this method also has its challenges and risks. Should all employees be given the freedom to manage their own resources and time?
