Choice Translating is a ROWE™ Certified Organization. As a ROWE™ Certified Organization, we adhere to the following ROWE™ standards:
- Every meeting is optional. Being accountable for delivering results is not.
- People are where they need to be, when they need to be there based on agreed-upon results and measures. Managers address performance issues, not attendance and tardiness issues.
- Core hours or schedules are not dictated by managers.
- Vacation/time off is unlimited as long as results are achieved.
- Every person is 100% autonomous and is expected to make the right decisions about how, when and where work will happen in order to achieve results.
- Every person is 100% accountable to clear, measurable results.
- There are no flextime, telecommuting, or other 1990s flexibility policies in place.
- There is no judgment about how you spend your time. People know what Sludge is and they actively use the established eradication strategies to keep it out of the workforce.
- ROWE™ is not a program; when business gets tough ROWE™ is not something that is taken away. The focus is always on clear, measurable expectations and managing performance.
- Efficiency is rewarded with control over time (autonomy), not punished with piling on more work.
- Non-performance is swiftly addressed. Continued non-performance means termination of employment.
- Performance management and performance conversations are ongoing and not relegated to a quarterly, bi-annual or annual review process.
- People never talk about how many hours they work.
