Asynchronous work is about how and when work gets done, breaking our obsession with meetings and implementing a more inclusive workstyle

---

Pronounced ay·sing·krun·us, asynchronous has a meaning that is easy to decipher and remember if you break the word down to its component parts;

• “a” is a prefix used in the Greek language to mean “not”.
• “syn” comes from the Greek word meaning “together”.
• “chronos” comes from the Greek word for “time”.

Essentially, it refers to a more modern way of working – collaborative work that is not occurring at the same time or in the same way. Put another way, it means not everything needs to be a meeting.

While remote work and hybrid work are about where we work, asynchronous work is really about how and when we work. Helping employees and teams find the sweet spot among these three factors and creating accountability through new work practices and daily rituals is essential to balancing the desires of the modern worker, with the age-old need of the employer, to get work done.
