Commuting was really killing me. 1.5 hour one way means 3 hours a day x 5 days its… 15 hours in a train.. now I just close my laptop and I am in the home-mode

Remote work requires transparency, honesty and commitment. But it is so rewarding — for you, your team and your clients.

If you don’t trust your people to be their best, why did you even hire them? Monitoring presence is a total waste of time. Only the outcome matters.

The world is huge, so why stay in the same place?

The most important thing is to have a network related to your expertise, so that you can stay in touch with latest trends and good practice.

“More and more, companies are having to consider remote work options to attract the best and brightest from all over the world.”

“Regular catch ups and just touch base calls to see how they are as people will make a big difference.”

“As a remote worker, it is essential that you be organized, focused, and able to communicate with those whom you work with.”

“At my previous job, I was commuting up to 90 minutes per day. The toll of stress and lost time was a huge suck on my psyche. Getting hours back every week has been heaven.”

“It means I have the ability to live where I feel the most creative. It also makes my career and personal development opportunities that much richer. I don’t feel limited to employment prospects in one-city. I don’t feel trapped. The whole world is my oyster.”

I think the best employees are happy employees, so I think companies should focus on obtaining that result, even if it means some people are out of the office

“You’re free to design your own routine, travel anywhere you wish and adapt work to fit your ideal lifestyle”.

“if an employee is qualified for the position, they deserve to work for that company, even if that means working remotely.”
