The Pacte del Temps is an initiative created by the Barcelona City Council through Barcelona Activa that encourages work-life balance and flexible working hours, promoting a more equitable and efficient organization of time. Its objective is to improve people’s quality of life by facilitating compatibility between work, personal life and well-being.
BOLD is part of the NUST (New Social Uses of Time) Business Network (New Social Uses of Time), which brings together organizations committed to the implementation of policies that favor work-life balance and efficient time management. Through tools such as strategic planning, BOLD promotes initiatives such as flexible working hours, telecommuting and smarter time management, promoting a healthier and more productive work environment.
The Pacte del Temps proposes the organization of time as a citizen’s right, but how does this translate into concrete actions?
The keys to better time management according to the initiative include:
- A healthier, more equitable and sustainable organization of time.
- Harmonization of the different uses of time in daily life.
- Effective co-responsibility between men and women.
- More social time for citizenship.
- More efficient time management models.
- The progressive implementation of the timetable reform.
- Time awareness as a key factor for daily well-being.
Last December we participated in the Pacte del Temps Annual Meeting, focused on rethinking health and well-being through the uses of time. In this space, we share our experience as developers of BOLD, a planning software designed to balance the needs of individuals with the work requirements of organizations.
During the day, Carles Ger, CEO of Global Planning Solutions, intervened in the Best Practices block, presenting innovative experiences that we implement internally in time management. He emphasized how, by putting people at the center, taking into account their needs and particularities, it is possible to improve productivity as well as the work experience and personal reconciliation.
As members of the NUST Network, we have been actively contributing to the improvement of time management in organizations for years. In 2017, we were recognized with the Innovative Company Award for Work-Life Balance and Time by the Barcelona City Council, a turning point that reaffirmed our commitment to implementing solutions that promote more conciliatory and sustainable work models for teams.
