Why TimelessTime?

We searched long and hard for a name that would explain our consulting ethos - what we stand for and what we believe in. We think we found it. See below.

We understand that your time is somewhat timeless with little distinction between leisure time and work. The TimelessTime team are here to support you 24/7. Working with TimelessTime couldn't be simpler. As an SME principle or senior manager you don't work standard office hours - neither do we. We offer support when you need it.

TimelessTime Defined

The idea of timeless time has been around for a number of years now. Manuel Castells, the social scientist, wrote a trilogy about the age in which we now live called The Information Age: Economy, Society and Culture (1996, 1997, 2000). He suggested that with the age of computerisation and the World Wide Web, the crisp boundaries between work and relaxation have been blurred.

Managers now find themselves working outside what we once called ‘normal working hours’. Frequently it is the only way to move the organisation forward. Managers work on the train to and from work. Managers use driving time to phone to check progress on jobs. And managers check and respond to routine emails in the evening. The state is made worse for those trading in global markets across time zones and different religion-defined working weeks.

Timeless time means a whole new psychological contract with staff – traditional clarities are gone. Staff give more but they expect more and your strategies and the way you deal with your staff must evolve in line with this new epoch. As a senior manager, you too will need support whenever you work . At TimelessTime we understand this new era. We understand timeless time and the challenges it brings and will provide you HR support whenever you work. Timeless time is here to stay; let us help you manage it.
