在英特尔公司(Intel Corp.)拥有1.4万名员工的软件与服务部门内,人们担心,由于他们不得不将大量时间用于应付每日的工作,他们将没有时间对问题进行深入的思考。因此,今年秋天,该公司的管理层决定试行一个项目,让员工每周有几个小时可以用来埋头工作。
During four weekly hours of 'think time'─tracked via group calendar and spreadsheet─workers aren't expected to respond to emails or attend meetings, unless it's urgent, or if they're working on collaborative projects.
在每周四小时的“思考时间里(这段时间将有部门日历和数据表予以记录),员工们不用回邮件,也不用出席会议,除非事情十分紧急,或是他们正在参与一个合作项目。
Already, at least one employee has developed a patent application in those hours, while others have caught up on the work they're unable to get to during frenetic workdays, says Linda April, a manager in the group.
该部门的一位经理琳达·阿普瑞(Linda April)表示,已经至少有一位员工利用这些“思考时间开发出来了一项拥有专利的应用软件,其他人也在赶着做那些他们在狂乱的工作日内无法完成的工作。
Dozens of software firms have developed products to tame worker inboxes, ranging from task-management software to programs that screen and sort email, but their effectiveness is limited without organizational change.
