工作互换：你准备好了吗？

    纽约人力资源公司Peppercom的CEO史蒂夫•科迪通过与下层员工互换工作，包括他的前台、一名初级客户经理和一名客户主管等，也得到了同样的启示。他打扫会议室，挂衣服，接电话，写新闻稿。这些经历让他了解了初级工作所面临的压力。科迪说：“就好像进入一个视频游戏中——你的笔记本以及手机里的信息和数据都在呈现爆炸式的增长。”

    因此，Peppercom更加注重工作与生活的平衡。科迪每月允许员工在家工作一天。他说：“与五年前相比，我们现在更关爱员工。如果你能接受工作互换，你就能成为一名更优秀的领导者。”

    Steve Cody, CEO of New York PR firm Peppercom, had the same kind of revelation when he traded places with junior-level employees, including his receptionist, a junior account manager, and an account supervisor. He cleaned conference rooms, hung up coats, answered phones, and wrote press releases. The experience made him understand the stress of entry-level jobs. "It's like being inside a videogame -- there's an explosion of information and data whipping into your laptop and phone," says Cody.

    As a result, Peppercom is more sensitive to work-life balance. Cody lets employees work an extra day from home each month. "We are much more employee-friendly than we were five years ago," he says. "If you're open to a swap, you'll come out of it a much better leader."
