This is Lesson 2 in the boot camp 'How to help your team ‘build back better': A boot camp on flexible working’.

In this week’s task, you and your team are going to review the business, team and individual outcomes that – irrespective of flexibility or how you work – you and your team need to maintain or perhaps even improve.

The purpose of confirming these is to identify how you’re going to measure progress in your team. They should be aligned to your team’s business and project plans, and any individual performance objectives as well. They form a really important basis for ensuring everyone is clear on expectations, and a reference point for any conversations you may need to have if something is not working.
