☆ Why a CEO says bosses should embrace 'coffee badging': 'I don't hire people to watch them work'
  + stars: | 2024-02-20 | by ( Ashton Jackson | ) www.cnbc.com   time to read: +3 min
A lot of workplaces these days have in-office mandates, with bosses who get upset if employees don't physically show up. Frank Weishaupt, CEO of Boston-based video conferencing equipment maker Owl Labs, isn't one of those bosses. He actively encourages his employees to create schedules that work for them, in locations that make sense, he says — even if what makes sense is "coffee badging." I don't hire people to watch them work," Weishaupt says. Coffee badging may seem like an inefficient use of time, but flexible schedules like this can boost efficiency and morale.

Over those two decades, and especially since the Covid-19 pandemic, Weishaupt says he's observed and learned from shifts in the workplace. Right now, he is embracing flexible work, believes employees shouldn't be micromanaged and encourages his workforce to dress comfortably, he says. Companies like Amazon and Disney have enacted stringent in-office work policies in recent months, with some citing reasons like office costs and employee productivity. And if I choose to be in the office the remainder of the day to finish my work, I'll do it. Embrace a more casual dress codeFlexible work arrangements may challenge your office's traditional dress code of suits, below-the-knee skirts and dress shoes.

Both wage and population growth are theoretically supportive of home prices as they support demand.
