In 2006, Dr. Moen and Dr. Kelly partnered with Best Buy and CultureRx to study a new workplace flexibility initiative called ROWE (Results Only Work Environment). The goal was to understand the ways this initiative affected employees' productivity and life quality, as well as the health and well-being of their family members.
The Flexible Work and Well-Being Study examined what was taking place in Best Buy as it moved beyond the inflexible clockworks of work that most Americans take for granted. This research partnership offered something of a "natural experiment," tracking changes as the company implemented the ROWE initiative. The Minnesota team collected data through observations, informal discussions, and in-depth interviews, as well as two web-based surveys at two points in time.
The Flexible Work and Well-Being Center is now using the findings from this study to inform the next phase of research. The Work, Family & Health Network has partnered with two new companies to alter workplace practices in ways that may reduce work stress and increase the health of workers and their families.
