Employees value autonomy greatly, more than some employers fully appreciate. When they had the autonomy to decide what worked for them on any given day, that’s when they did best. The sooner employers give their employees control over where and how they perform their jobs, the faster they’ll find work arrangements that get the best of our workers, because they work best for them, too. Should employers be concerned that employees might abuse their autonomy and pick work arrangements that allow them to check out and be lazy? Granting employees access to them will allow companies to elicit behaviours that make both employees and the organization better off.
