Slow business, giving time back to time
While many executives point to a malaise in the company and a heavy workload that severely affects their privacy, many business leaders are also wondering about the relationship between work pace and quality of work by trying to find a satisfactory answer for both the employee and the company. Just as fast food is bad for health, fast business would also be harmful to the well-being of the office. It is therefore necessary to find a more relaxed pace of work, the so-called slow business *, a personalized way of working that gives the employee a margin of maneuver in managing his work pace, that is to say that is to say that it allows him to arrange moments of pause and deceleration between more intense working moments. But how to put this new management technique in place in a company? Can it be suitable for all companies, all employees? and how could it revolutionize the world of work?
This new management technique, for the nascent moment in France, arouses the growing interest of many business leaders, themselves tired of having to fight to impose these repeated deadlines and this sustained pace to managers who are often powerless in the face of blatant inefficiency of some employees at the end of their resources. So this is a technique that allows everyone to slow down and take a step back to better manage this time and its madness by modulating different tempos. The idea is to ban the idle time, that is to say the time spent in the company when the mind is no longer there and to encourage on the contrary a useful and productive working time and real moments of recovery.
We put on a more rested employee, more serene in his management of work-life balance and therefore more efficient and less stressed in his work.
This philosophy of slowing down could spell the end of a managerial technique based on a frenetic relationship to working time, the limits and disastrous effects on workers' health being seen today: burn-out statistics are exploding, consumption of anti-depressants in exponential growth, etc.
It is a managerial technique that has already proven itself in the Anglo-Saxon world and which only needs to be set up in French companies for an improved quality of life and a more productive work, even if mentalities are struggling. to evolve in France, it is a technique that must be promoted by the leaders because it encourages the well-being of all and conveys a more positive image of the work.
