At Casted, employees can make their own flexible schedules, as long as they use Slack status to indicate whether they’re fully at work (green), fully off (red), or in a flex situation where they’re available if needed.

They keep their calendars rigorously up-to-date, so colleagues know when they are and are not available for meetings. There are set times when all employees must be available, and Friday is designated as a no-internal-meetings day, so employees can use the day as they need to.

Ultimately, Tjepkema says, it’s about “being really clear about expectations and goals, and what success looks like—in the role, for the day, and for the week.”
