In an always-on culture, employees try ‘microshifting’ to reclaim personal lives
How Microshifting Is Transforming modern 9-to-5 Work
Office Beacon CEO Pranav Dalal on output-based management, flexible schedules, and team trust
As organizations rethink standard schedules, microshifting is gaining traction among workers who break their days into short, flexible bursts of productivity. Office Beacon CEO Pranav Dalal acknowledges that many managerial employees engage in microshifting without explicit policies, with leadership judging performance primarily by output rather than fixed hours. While the approach offers crucial autonomy for family care and personal well-being, Dalal warns that abusing flexible schedules can create team resentment and damage trust. Successfully implementing these flexible workflows requires balancing individual autonomy with dependable execution and team cohesion.
