In our previous blog "Everything has a Rhythm", we explained that rhythm is inherently important for people. That it gives us overview and that it provides relaxation and self-confidence. So for people to perform well, it is important for organizations to think in rhythms and introduce predictability where possible.

Consistent routines
This allows employees to plan and organise better, making them more efficient and reducing stress or even burnout. This includes assigning tasks and responsibilities.

Continuous improvement
By regularly reflecting and giving feedback, a team can learn from mistakes and improve itself. This process of continuous improvement is an important aspect of agile working and can only be achieved if the team has a clear rhythm.
Clear goals and expectations

Serving company rhythm
Clear routines, good communication, continuous improvement, clear goals and expectations serve employee performance. They provide the business rhythm in which employees feel comfortable and therefore can perform better and in which business operations are secured.
No micromanagement
So a clear business rhythm is not a rigid work culture. We need to be able to deal with change and unforeseen circumstances, where employees can bring in their own skills, creativity and ideas (especially then). It's about finding the right balance between structure and flexibility.
