In her new book, Sleeping with Your Smartphone, Harvard Business School professor Leslie Perlow details her years-long research project with The Boston Consulting Group, an attempt to improve the work-life balance at the hard-driving firm with incremental but meaningful changes in attitude and behavior. It was a worthy goal, given that by most measures over-connectedness is a real problem in the workplace.
By all accounts—Perlow’s, the firm’s, even clients’—the experiment was a success. And not just because the professor scored a book deal from it: Perlow outlines a plan that any organization can implement, which has the advantage of both simplicity and acronymability. She calls it PTO—Predictable Time Off—and it’s almost sure to pop up soon at a staff-building meeting or HR conference near you!
