Solect Energy installs solar energy system at Daniel L. Joyce Middle School

Woburn Mayor Scott Galvin announced Solect Energy has completed the installation of a 300-kilowatt DC solar energy system on the roof of the Daniel L. Joyce Middle School at 55 Locust St., Woburn. The 798-panel system will reduce the schools price per kilowatt-hour for electricity by 64%, saving about $29,000 in the first year. Over the life of the contract, electric bill savings are projected to be at least $500,000, based on current Eversource electricity rates. If the utilitys rates rise, the savings to the school increase. The renewable energy system will reduce air pollution by avoiding the emission of 580,000 pounds of carbon dioxide into the air per year. Over 20 years, the avoided CO2 emissions equate to that of driving a car 13,450,000 miles. The Joyce Middle School solar energy system is the first of three the city is installing on local schools with Solect Energy, under the PowerOptions consortium program. Solar panels will also be installed on the Hurld-Wyman Elementary School and the Goodyear Elementary School.

Who Really Makes the Buying Decisions? – Contracting Business

Posted: at 9:36 am


without comments

The first year I was married, my wife Debbie made some changes to our new home. Gone were the cinder blocks and planks that held my extensive record collection, along with the coffee table I made in woodshop in high school. They were replaced by an elegant coffee table and a fancy shelf to store my LPs. You see, for a woman, the home is a very personal reflection of her good taste and personality. For a man, its a place to watch the game. Venus vs. Mars.

Years ago, I shared the stage with Sharon Roberts. As we talked in the greenroom, she asked if I had written any books. I gave her a copy of my first book, Freedom from Fear. She reciprocated by giving me her book, Selling To Women & Couples: Secrets of Selling in the New Millennium. I read it that night in one sitting. (Its only 85 pages!) In this insightful book, she says, and I truly believe, 85% of all buying decisions in the home are made by(wait for it!) WOMEN! In my house, its 110%!

Is this a firm fast rule that applies to every sale? No. Its just 85% of the time. You see, SHE is the Economic Buyer, HE is the Feasibility Buyer. She can say yes, he can say no. Your close ratio will increase if both SHE and HE are in the room. What is vital to remember is, give her at least as much, if not more, attention than him. If you disrespect her or simply forget that this simple idea is important, you will lose the sale and never know why.

In sales seminars I conduct, I ask the women in the room, How many of you have been disrespected by a salesperson when you were with your husband or boyfriend? EVERY woman raises her hand! Each one has a story with the common denominator being the absence of Appreciation, Respect and Understanding. There it is! A.R.U.

I have done hundreds of ride-alongs with comfort consultants and, if I am asked to participate in the sales process, the first thing I do is say to HER, You have a lovely home. . . . (Appreciation.) The second thing I do is to give HER equal if not more eye contact; like an oscillating fan, my head goes back and forth from her to him and back. (Respect.) The third thing I do is to listen really listen to what she is saying. (Understanding.) Its Active Listening! When you make these three simple ideas a habit, the sale happens as a matter of course.

I really miss that old coffee table and all those LPs. But you know the old saw, Happy Wife, Happy Life! We have been married for 39 years. Thats no accident. Now you know who really makes the decisions

5 High-Paying Remote Jobs In The IT Industry That Are Not Programming – Forbes

Posted: at 9:36 am


without comments

High-Paying Remote Jobs In The IT Industry

Most folks without technical backgrounds believe that theres no room for them in the IT industry. Nothing could be further from the truth. Think about it: tech companies are a business just like any other else. Apart from IT, they have other functions too HR, marketing, sales, legal and finance. Whats even better, if the core IT team is mostly remote, positions in those departments would also be out of office too.

If you are in the market for a remote job, dont discard working for an IT company too soon. Even if you are a non-techie, theres still plenty well-paid gigs you can go after.

1. IT Headhunter/ HR Specialist

While many IT companies may use niche recruitment firms to source talent, there is a growing contingent of remote headhunters too. You dont have to be a techie to recruit techies, but you do have to understand the industry, where it is going, the newer technologies that are in demand, etc. And because the tech sector is rapidly evolving, you will have to keep a close eye on the in-demand skills, degrees, certifications that specific positions require.

Many companies will also hire remote workers for a variety of other HR tasks development of HR policies and procedures, benefits, employee manuals, training and development, employee reviews and evaluations procedures and documentation, etc.

Average hourly rate for remote headhunters is around $20-$50, depending on the company and experience level. As well, some employers may offer a bonus based on a percentage of the hired individuals starting salary. Average salary for freelance HR consultants ranges from $65,000 - $70,000, with seasoned and experienced pros earning over $100,000.

2. Accountant

There is a big difference between normal bookkeeping functions and full-fledged accounting services. While there is plenty of software that will handle all of the less complex financial processes, an accountant is usually employed for more complex yet required needs such as audits, due diligence, payroll management etc. Obviously, you must have a degree in accounting, preferably a CPA license, to find remote work as an accountant.

3. Digital Marketing Specialist/Consultant

Its one thing for an IT firm to develop amazing software and apps. Its quite another to market those products effectively. And for young tech startups, employing remote marketers is a wise and often necessary route to take if they want to get their products in front of end consumers. For freelancers and remote workers, this means plenty of regular work across multiple avenues.

However, if you want to command higher rates and establish your expertise, its best to niche down to one or several of the following services:

As for the compensation, it can vary a lot depending on your skillset and sub-niche. However, its not uncommon for digital marketers to earn up to six figures per year.

4. IT Sales Pros

Major IT companies are usually catering to users from all around the world. So it is only natural that such businesses are often looking to hire sales representatives in locations where they have customers (or major interest), but dont have representative offices.

Average salaries for remote sales pros are in the mid-$50,000 range, but this is simply not a solid figure. Because pay is based on commission, higher end products will obviously bring more income. Remote sales workers need to know what is standard for the specific industry and negotiate commissions accordingly.

5. Training & Development Consultant

Many say that technology is evolving faster than we can keep up. What it means for IT firms is that there is a continual need for training and talent development, some of which will be in-house and much of which may occur digitally, because of remote workforces.

You arent a techie, but if you are a seasoned pro in designing and setting up training and e-learning programs, there will be plenty of opportunities for you. You may be hired to assist the company with creating their center for excellence, improving the corporate education process and perhaps even developing some materials for the leadership suit. e-learning is a hot sector too, so you might want to level up your digital skills too.

Training and development consultants can receive compensation ranging from $50,000 up to six figures.

Dont count out remote work with an IT firm just because you are not a coder. Just these five possibilities should encourage you to look into your options and wet your toes in the burgeoning IT industry.

If Youre Already Replacing Your Roof, Why Not Turn It Into A Power Plant? – Forbes

Posted: at 9:36 am


without comments

Every year, roughly 5% of U.S. homeowners gaze forlornly up at their aging and weathered shingles, sigh, and take the financial plunge to get a new roof.Martin DeBono, President of GAF Energy, sees this as a potential watershed moment for homeowners, in which each can make a decision:They can simply replace their roofs.Or they can convert them into investments that generate electricity and income.

Do I simply replace the roof, or make an investment?

DeBono has been in the solar industry for some time, most recently with SunPower heading up the global residential and channel businesses before joining GAF Energy (a subsidiary of Standard Industries, the biggest roofing manufacturer in the world).He has seen the sector evolve and while he is confident that the solar industry will continue to see improved efficiencies and module cost reductions, he says thats not where the action is these days.The solar panels now constitute a relatively small portion of the entire installed cost stack,and its the opportunity to take out those other costs and offer better products where we find ourselves with an opportunity at GAF Energy.

A solar business based on transaction efficiencies

When DeBono got to GAF Energy, he stepped back to evaluate the business and its available assets, I realized, you guys are sitting on a gold mine.Lets go form a company to take advantage of the assets that Standard Industries has.The company was already a big investor in commercial-scale solar projects, so it was familiar with the industry the next step was to determine a go-to-market strategy in the residential space. DeBonos goal was to create what he calls the worlds first truly sustainable solar company, one that doesnt need to rely on tax credits or financial engineering - such as leases or purchase power agreements - to offer a compelling value proposition.

Instead, the approach taken was to leverage an event that was already inevitable a roof replacement and apply efficiencies, existing partnerships, and economies of scale to create a solar business built around that transaction.With this approach, GAF Energy felt it could substantially reduce soft costs, especially those related to sales and installation.

The company currently offers its solar product in nine states, including Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Connecticut, New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Illinois, Florida, and California.In these markets, when channel partners are talking to prospects about a roof replacement, DeBono comments, They say heres the roofing estimate, but did you know it also qualifies for solar?The contractors explain the potential to transform the roof from a static asset into an income-generating asset.If the customer expresses interest, the roofing contractors pass the information along to GAF Energy for qualification, a size estimate, and a quote.

It doesnt unduly complicate the roof replacement sales conversation, DeBono says.If the customer proceeds, the same crew that installs the roof lays down the panels as well in one single and efficient transaction.The result is that, You can reduce sales cost, reduce labor costs, and you can present a cash offer that makes sense. The company focuses solely on the residential roof replacement market.DeBono characterizes the resulting savings as roughly 15-20% when compared with buying both items separately.It stays away from new homes that need roofs, for the simple reason that new housing is almost entirely a financed market.

Equipping its business channel partners

In order to effectively convey its value proposition to partners and customers, GAF Energy offers two days of sales training to its existing roofing contractors (with an optional third day).The company also provides sales consultants that can accompany the contractor on the home visits.

In addition, it offers on-the-roof training for contracting partners that perform the actual installations. Typically trainers will attend a specific crew first few installations, until that team is comfortable proceeding on its own.Its a simpler installation than most solar offerings, DeBono indicates, since we are not selling traditional rack-mounted solar.The solar is the roof in our case.The panel is not laid over shingles - it is the roof, and there is an underlying material.

The technology itself involves 360-watt panels that integrate with the roofing materials.GAF Energy can source from multiple suppliers, since the company is simply buying high quality solar laminate absent the frame.The product is warrantied for 25 years, with an additional 25 years for protection against leaks through a Golden Pledge option, available from GAF Energys top-tier contractors.

While not every GAF roofing contractor is interested, for many it offers an opportunity to grow their market while providing new skills to employees.DeBono comments that many roofing businesses are generational family-held enterprises with a new generation of roofing contractors that have grown up with an awareness of technology and of climate changefor sure, not every roofer is jumping in, nor do we expect that, but we are working with a set of select roofers that see the future.

While GAF Energy has been in business for less than a year, DeBono indicates that sales have been respectable, though he declines to offer a specific number.I will say this.Its been solid enough that we have doubled our number of employees. We are at 70 now.

Perhaps most interesting, the company has seen the best uptake in areas where traditional solar has not been widely offered, and competition is limited.DeBono compares states like Pennsylvania, Illinois and Florida with the market in California and its everyone gets in a three-quote dogfight, and indicates that the lesser-emphasized states are some of the healthier markets. The reason is we can go into homeowner in a place like Pennsylvania and offer a payback that makes sense in the context of a roof sale that dedicated solar providers cannot match.

Future market evolution

While energy storage is not in the current business model, DeBono expects that batteries will eventually be tied to a growing number of future solar installations, especially as battery costs continue to fall and storage technology improves.At the same time, GAF Energy doesnt always sell systems so large that they have to be able to either store power (or export to the grid under an existing net metering arrangement).If you are going to market selling shingles you dont need to give customer the biggest system possible, but you can size for exactly what they need.The best return may not always be with biggest system, he says.

DeBono articulates a vision for the future in which solar looks a lot more like a traditional roofing product.When you think about it, its like taking a flat screen TV and screwing it to the roof.By and large it hasnt changed in the last 20 years.He hopes that changes. If you were to ask what success looks like in the next 5 years, I would say you would have product that looks like traditional roofing product that can be installed in a market that takes advantage of the existing solar supply chain and roofing chain that results in higher attach rate.

DeBono sums up the potential this way,

Five years from now, what I view as success is if we can fundamentally change the way customers use solar and instead of getting regular roofs, they choose to get a solar roof. We plan on innovating as much in the form factor as we have in the go-to-market model.

How Purdue’s aggressive sales of a painkiller blew up in its face – FRANCE 24

Posted: at 9:36 am


without comments

New York (AFP)

In 2002, Andrew Kolodny, a resident in psychiatry, attended a training session on pain treatment in Philadelphia.

Seventeen years later, he still shakes his head over the surprising enthusiasm of the lecturer, an authority on the topic, for prescribing opioids.

"The message was that people are suffering because of an overblown fear, and the correct and compassionate way to treat pain is to prescribe aggressively," Kolodny recalled.

The lecturer, Thomas McLellan, had shown the class a short film examining the case of a man seeking relief from chronic back pain.

The patient had been prescribed a strong regimen of OxyContin, the pain medication produced by Purdue Pharma -- but he wanted more, complaining of crippling agony.

After the film, McClellan asked the doctors in the class for their diagnosis.

"For me and for most of the people in the room, the obvious diagnosis was that this patient became addicted to their medicine," said Kolodny, who is now the co-director of opioid policy research at Brandeis University's Heller School in Boston.

"The surprise was that the person teaching the class said it's not true addiction. It's a pseudo-addiction."

McLellan insisted the problem facing the seemingly addicted patient was that he was not getting enough drugs, Kolodny recalled.

At the time, the concept of "pseudo-addiction" was being advanced by Purdue Pharma and other laboratories to promote their opioid products.

OxyContin, an anti-pain medication similar to morphine, was introduced to the American market in 1996 with a campaign that swept aside years of caution on the use of opioids, previously reserved for the gravely ill because of their highly addictive nature.

The campaign featured deceptive marketing, controversial sales practices and endorsements from eminent physicians generously remunerated by Purdue Pharma.

But as a result of the singularly aggressive promotion of the prescription drug, both Purdue and the Sackler family, which owns the firm, now face more than 2,300 lawsuits in the United States.

They stand accused of having provoked the nationwide opioid crisis.

Opioids are blamed for more than 400,000 deaths by overdose since 1999, according to recently published data, and on average for more than 130 deaths a day.

Contacted by AFP, Purdue Pharma declined to comment.

- A green light -

The origins of OxyContin, which has generated more than $35 billion in sales for Purdue, date to 1990.

The laboratory, based in the northeastern US state of Connecticut, was looking for a successor to its popular analgesic MS Contin, a morphine-based medication prescribed mainly to cancer patients but which was facing growing competition from generic drugs.

Purdue developed a painkiller based on oxycodone, a semi-synthetic opioid first concocted in Germany in 1916, with effects comparable to those of MS Contin.

Opioids posed well-known risks of dependence, but the laboratory had an answer: the new drug's beneficial effects would last 12 hours, twice as long as similar medications, meaning a patient would take fewer pills and face reduced danger of addiction.

But even before it reached the market, tests showed that OxyContin's effects did not last as long as originally thought, the Los Angeles Times found in a 2016 investigation.

Still, in December 1995, the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) gave Purdue a green light to market OxyContin for the treatment of moderate to severe pain, authorizing its use for a range of ailments, many less serious than cancer.

"At the time of approval, FDA believed the controlled-release formulation of OxyContin would result in less abuse potential, since the drug would be absorbed slowly and there would not be an immediate 'rush' or high," an agency spokesman told AFP.

The FDA's approval drew growing criticism after Curtis Wright, a doctor who led the agency committee that authorized OxyContin, left to take a senior position with Purdue in 1998.

Another troubling development: once the drug was being marketed and aggressively promoted, OxyContin generated a huge black market that Purdue, critics say, ignored or minimized for far too long.

Quantities of pills were procured -- stolen from pharmacies or obtained from unscrupulous doctors -- and ground into powder to be inhaled, which multiplied their euphoric effects, according to a confidential US Justice Department report cited by The New York Times in 2018.

The 80-milligram pills, the most common dose, sell for $65 to $80 on the black market, compared to $6 in pharmacies, according to several doctors questioned by AFP.

- An explosion in sales -

Despite the warning signals, Purdue continued to present OxyContin as being less addictive than other opioids.

The company's advertising budget surged from $187,500 in 1996 to $4 million in 2001, according to internal documents.

Purdue also built up a so-called "speakers' bureau" -- mainly physicians highly remunerated for attesting to the "miracle" qualities of OxyContin.

Sales exploded -- rocketing from $80 million in 1997 to $2.1 billion only four years later, internal documents showed.

Purdue also enlisted the help of the American Academy of Pain Medicine (AAPM) and the American Pain Society (APS), two respected professional organizations specializing in pain treatment, to support its campaign to destigmatize opioids.

Purdue helped finance both organizations, and several of their members worked as consultants for the laboratory.

Underscoring the close relationship, David Haddox, who headed an APS committee that endorsed the increased use of opiates, was hired by Purdue in 1999, where he remained until earlier this year.

Purdue's sales pitch to physicians was probably helped by the fact that pain treatment has long been a neglected branch of medicine, said Gregory Terman, director of the Acute Pain Service at the University of Washington and the APS president from 2015 to 2017.

"Until the opioid crisis, NIH (the National Institutes of Health) had never spent more than one percent of their budget on pain -- the most common reason people go to doctors -- let alone chronic pain, which troubles more than 100 million Americans," he said.

The APS, facing lawsuits over its promotion of opioids and unable to pay its lawyers, filed for bankruptcy in late June.

Primary care doctors "have little training in addiction or pain, and many of them believed the promises" made by Purdue, Stanford University psychiatry professor Keith Humphreys said.

- Legal problems mount -

In 2006, the medical world finally awoke to the dangers of OxyContin, jolted by an article by Leonard Paulozzi of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), who reported that deaths linked to opioids had exploded by 91 percent from 1999 to 2002.

In 2007, for the first time, Purdue Pharma and three of its executives pleaded guilty, in Virginia, to having deceived physicians, patients and regulatory authorities about the risks posed by OxyContin of dependence or abuse. They agreed to pay $635 million in fines.

Yet when Purdue's legal problems grew in the United States and OxyContin sales fell in 2010, the company simply turned to its international subsidiary Mundipharma to promote sales in other parts of the world.

In Europe, where drug ads targeting the general public are banned, Mundipharma aired one in Spain in 2013 drawing attention to the problem of chronic pain and encouraging people to see a doctor and demand treatment.

Asked about that, a Mundipharma spokesperson said only: "We no longer have any such activity today."

The group has also financed seminars for physicians in other countries -- notably Brazil and China -- to promote opioids as effective pain treatment, the Los Angeles Times reported in 2016.

Joseph Pergolizzi, a Florida doctor who the newspaper said had lectured in 2016 at a Mundipharma-sponsored conference in Brazil, rejected any suggestion of deceptive marketing.

"I was invited to a cancer pain conference," he told AFP, adding that he had spoken about "severe cancer pain treatment and what the options are."

Pergolizzi said he had severed all ties to Mundipharma two years ago.

- Purdue files for bankruptcy -

Purdue has repeatedly stated that OxyContin is only one of several opioid medications on the market, and that it now fights actively against the abuse of such drugs.

It sought bankruptcy protection in mid-September and is now urging the states and cities suing it to agree to its transformation into a trust, with any future profits to be used to alleviate the harm caused by the opioid crisis.

The laboratory has said it is ready to make payments to the plaintiffs totaling $10 billion to $12 billion -- with $3 billion coming from the Sackler family -- if they drop all legal action.

But nearly 25 states, including New York, have rejected the proposal.

The offer from Purdue and the Sacklers falls far short of paying for "the death and destruction they inflicted on the American people," said New York Attorney General Letitia James.

Cape Coral’s Oktoberfest: The Chicken Dance, the beer and everything else you need to know – News-Press

Posted: at 9:36 am


without comments

The Chicken Dance is mandatory.

If youre a German band playing Cape Corals Oktoberfest this weekend, you have to play the wing-flapping, butt-wiggling song. No excuses. No exceptions.

Why? Oktoberfest audiences love it, thats why.

Its fun, says Tony Krenn, entertainment chairman for the popular annual event. We have to play it. I make the band play it every hour. Its a must.

The dance floor fills up. And everybody from 2 years old to 80 years old is participating.

Of course, theres more than just The Chicken Dance happening at Oktoberfest. Theres also German food, German vendors and German beer lots and lots of German beer.

The festival went through about 800 barrels of German and domestic beer last year, says Oktoberfest chairman Steve Eichner. Thats roughly 9,600-12,800 gallons poured over six days.

Eichner doesnt know the exact amount. Its just a lot of beer, thats all! he says and laughs.

So get ready to drink, dance and celebrate all things German. Heres everything you need to know about the 34th annual event:

Oktoberfest takes place over two weekends, starting Friday at the German American Social Club, 2101 S.W. Pine Island Road, Cape Coral.

Hours are 4 p.m. to midnight Friday, noon to midnight Saturday and noon to 9 p.m. Sunday through Oct. 27.

Tickets are $5 in advance, $6 at the gate, and free for ages 11 and younger. Parking is free.

You can buy tickets in advance at the German American Social Club, Trebing Tile in Cape Coral, European American Bakery in Fort Myers, Kallis German Butcher Shop in Port Charlotte and Geiers Sausage Kitchen in Sarasota.

Bring your waltzing and polka shoes! And get ready to Chicken Dance, too (theres even a contest).

This years fest includes 10 bands on two stages and a giant dance floor. Three of those bands come straight from Germany:

The German bands usually perform traditional music in the afternoon, Krenn says. Then they switch to more modern songs at night.

Other bands at Oktoberfest include Manni Daum Trio, The Hot Buttered Nuggets, Lee County Pipes & Drums, Deb & The Dynamics and the German American Social Clubs house band, Hafenkapelle.

Those bands play everything from German songs to blues rock to swing jazz and Americana.

We are a German American club, not just a German club, Krenn explains. So we bring in local stuff as well.

The social clubs party band gets its name from the German for harbor band. Their repertoire includes waltzes, marches, polkas, big-band tunes, pop and other good-time dance music.

The all-volunteer band started in 1983, and it's been playing Oktoberfests every year since then.

The 25 to 30 members play a variety of instruments, including trumpets, flugelhorns, tubas, clarinets, drums and alphorns those really long horns you see in Ricola TV commercials.

Germans have been holding Oktoberfest festivals, in and out of Germany, since the tradition started in 1810 to celebrate the wedding of Crown Prince Ludwig of Bavaria.

From there, the festival has evolved into a worldwide annual event known for German food, music and a good-time atmosphere.

Cape Corals German American Club has been holding itspublic event for 34 years. But it actually started as a private event for club members in 1964, Eichner says.

Now, Oktoberfest is the clubs biggest fundraiser of the year. About 35,000 people come every year to drink, eat, dance and party like Germans.

This is the biggie, Eichner says.

The money pays for the clubs operations, he says, but they also donate $20,000 to $30,000 every year to various charities, including Hope Hospice.

Let's face it: Sober people rarely get up for The Chicken Dance. A few Pilsner beers later, though, and you have a different story.

This year, organizers boast about 13 different beers on tap, Eichner says. Three are domestic: Miller Lite, Coors Light and Yuengling Lager.

The other 10 come from where else? Germany. That includes Warsteiner German Pilsner, Warsteiner Dunkel, limited-edition Warsteiner Oktoberfest (brewed solely for Oktoberfest events), Schofferhofer Grapefruit, Bitburger and Radeberger.

Many visitors to the Cape festival will dress in traditional clothing such as lederhosen or dirndls tight-bodiced dresses that come in a variety of colors.

Many will also wear felt hats decorated with metal pins. That style is common in Germany, where people collect pins on their hats from the places they've been.

If you want to wear a piece of German heritage, you can buydirndls,lederhosen, pins and more fromthe approximately 50 vendors throughoutthe festival grounds.

Oktoberfest wouldn't be the same without the food, and there's plenty of that on hand. Traditional dishes served every year include potato pancakes and applesauce, saurbrauten barbecue, potato salad and schnitzel.

Then, of course, there are all those varieties of German sausage. Plus, for dessert, everything from Black Forest chocolate cake to apple strudel to plum streusel cake.

This year's Miss Oktoberfest is FGCU graduate Ashley Jones, 22, of Estero.(Photo: Special to The News-Press)

The Miss Oktoberfest pageant has been held since 1989. It helps promote the event and attract younger people to join the club, organizers say.

This years Miss Oktoberfest is Ashley Jones, an FGCU graduate with a degree in sales and marketing. After Oktoberfest, she'll movefrom Estero to Washington, D.C.,for a year-long sales training program through media company Bloomberg Industry Group.

Jones, 22, has been visiting the German American Social Club for about a year with a friend to dance and learn more about her German heritage. Her great-grandmother came from Germany, she says, and the family still makes her sauerbraten recipe.

Its important keeping up with tradition and culture, Jones says. Its cool for me to learn more about those traditions and values, knowing that thats part of my heritage.

She says she looks forward to walking around Oktoberfest in her sash and crown, meeting people, drinking beer and having fun. And yes, shell be dancing, too.

Ive got The Chicken Dance down! she says.

More employers offer flexible hours, but many grapple with how to make it succeed – USA TODAY

Posted: at 9:36 am


without comments

Jobs are becoming more and more flexible, offering work from home options, flex-time and unlimited PTO! If you want to convince your employer to let you work from home, experts say these are some tactics you should use. Buzz60

Last month, Michael Richman, owner of Academy Awning in Montebello, California, waded gingerly into the modern world of flexible work schedules, allowing a 22-year-old designer to come in at odd hours so he could go back to college full time.

It didnt go well.

The designer wasnt available midday to answer questions from an East Coast customer and was hard-pressed to quickly address concerns raised by welders and other factory employees at the awning maker, which has 35 staffers. Richman also wondered how much the designerwas really working when he was alone in the office.

It was a disaster, Richman says. We have to have a somewhat regimented schedule. To have people coming and going at different times creates disruption.

Americas new flexible workplace is going throughsome growing pains.Many businesses are allowing variable hours as well as work-from-home options -- to attract employees in a tight labor market. But as adoption grows, a significant share are struggling to make it work. Consultants say thats because many companies havent put technology and other tools in place to ensure seamless communication and collaboration with co-workers and customers.

They havent integrated it as part of their overall strategy, says Cali Williams Yost, CEO of Flex + Strategy Group, which helps companies adopt flexible work arrangements. Were asking people to work differently but not telling them how to do it.

As a result, some companies are throwing up their hands and going back to traditional work policies while others are ironing out the kinks through trial and error. The gap among firms is underscored by widely varying measures of the portion of businesses with flexible hours. A spring survey by the Society for Human Resource Management found that 57% of organizations offer flexible schedules, up from 52% in 2015.

A separate poll by Flex + Strategy revealed that 98% of companies provide some form of fluctuating hours based on a broad definition that could include letting employees leave occasionally to pick up kids at school or go to the doctor. At the other extreme are businessesthat let workers choose their own hours.

Meanwhile, a survey of 501 hiring managers by USA TODAY and LinkedInlate last month showed that to attract and retain employees, 44%have put in place new strategies to permit a more flexible schedule. In fact, thats their chief way of coping with unemployment thats at a 50-year low of 3.5% and spells fewer available workers. Thirty-eight percentof hiring managers are raising pay and twenty-six percent allow remote work.

While the 44% share is noteworthy, its lower than the other measures because its likely capturing only employers that have adopted formal strategies to make flexible schedules work over the long term and are confident enough to tout the policy to job seekers, Yost says.

In late 2017, the vast majority of workers said they had some degree of work flexibility but just 42% said theyd been trained on how to manage it, down from 47% in 2015, according to a survey by Flex + Strategy.

Some companies dont formalize flexible work arrangements because they want to offerthem quietly to certain employees rather than across the board, says Sara Sutton, CEO of FlexJobs, which posts jobs for remote, part-time and freelance work and provides related consulting services. That, she says, causes jealousy. Others offer flexibility but still try to reach employees during off-hours.

The shift to more flexible work set-ups has been driven by millennials, who could complete and submit their college assignments anytime, anywhere as a result of the prevalence of Wi-Fi, smartphones and email, Sutton says. They also yearn for a healthy work-life balance.

They grew up with this, she says.

Seventy-seven percent of employees consider flexible work a major consideration in their job searches, according to Zenefits, which provides human resource software. And 30% have left a job because it didnt provide flexible work options, a FlexJobs poll reveals.

Businesses are responding, largely because they have little choice in the hypercompetitive labor market, Yost says. Technology such as smartphones, cloud computing and work collaboration tools such as Slack also have paved the way. So has a work culture that often requires employees to answer emails late at night or on vacation. Companies can hardly ask workers to make such sacrifices without providing them more leeway to adjust their hours or location during the workday, Yost says.

Yet increased flexibility also boosts productivity, Yost says. Sixty percent of employees with workplace flexibility said they feel more productive and engaged and forty-five percentsay it increases their ability to work effectively with their team, according to the Flex + Strategy survey.

Why? The ability to shift hours to avoid rush-hour traffic, for example, increases efficiency. Some people are more productive late at night than mid-morning. And employees granted flexible hours are more loyal and motivated.

When you give people flexibility, they will give you more, Yost says.

Last year, Sara Martlage, 31, left a sales job at a freight company where she felt chained to a desk for a similar role at Scottsdale, Arizona-based Trainual, which provides employee training software, largely because the firm lets her adjust her schedule. While the official hours are 8 to 5, Martlage can come in later to attend a workout or yoga class, run errands midday and work from home as much as half the time.

Its empowering to have authority over your schedule, she says. It makes me want to work harder, be available to take calls and answer email some nights and weekends to go above and beyond to keep my work integrity intact with the rest of my teammates.

Chris Ronzio, CEO of Trainual, says he adopted flexible hours about two years ago, chiefly to attract workers. Four recent hires, he says, accepted job offers because of the policy. And it has freed him from keeping a detailed ledger of employees time.

Were putting more trust into our team, and measuring them more by the results they produce than by the hours they log, Ronzio says. The 19-employee firm has begun tracking monthly and quarterly sales figures more closely to ensure workers are meeting targets.

Other companies have hit some bumps along the way. GoBrandgo, a St. Louis marketing company, began letting employees set their own hours and work from anywhere about 10 years ago, says partner Brandon Dempsey. At first, he said, it bred resentment because each division had a different standard for flexible hours and no way to know when co-workers werent available.

Several years ago, he says, the company started an online calendar that employees fill out at the start of the week, letting colleagues know when theyre working and when theyre out, as well as project management software that tracks the status of every job. Employees must be available for client meetings every two weeks and work more closely in teams so they can answer a clients question if a co-worker is out.

Everybody knows the rules of the game now, Dempsey says.

Staffers, he says, are more productive, in part because they can clock hours best suited to their circadian rhythms and not think about home while they're at work, and vice versa. "Be present wherever you are," he says.

Nicole Turner, 33, the creative director, routinely has put in five or six hours during the day at the office and then toiled at home from 7 PM to as late as 2 a.m.

Im more creative late at night, she says.

Now that she has a 2-year-old son, her hours are more normal, though she still sometimes takes off part of the day to care for himand makes up the time at night.

No ones looking over me and micromanaging me.

RED Group, a New Orleans-based maker of industrial control systems, began allowing somewhat variable schedules several years ago, and last month shifted to total flexibility, says company President Kyle Remont. Making the change possible were benchmarks for the cost and time of each project and software that shows precisely the percentage completed at any moment, as well as a video chat app.

The biggest positive is employee morale, Remont says.

A record number of millennials are quitting their jobs, because they dont want to be tied down, which essentially clears their schedule for more vacation time. Buzz60's Sean Dowling has more. Buzz60
