Stew and Dan talk about the various ways Vynamic invests in the whole lives of people in the organization, including a policy that enables members to set real boundaries between work and the rest of life. Vynamic has a “Z-Mail” policy; the Z stands for catching some Z’s, sleep. Z-mail hours are 10 p.m. to 6 a.m. and it’s the norm not to send emails during those hours. At Vynamic, values drive decision-making and it’s been a good investment, one that’s paid off in their ability to perform well as a business. Dan’s puts his philosophy this way: We’re “growing for our people and not at the expense of our people.” Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
