Let's fight together for the future of #remotework ??♂? Join the Remote-First Institute

More and more companies force people to come back to the office… Is this the end of the #remotework revolution?

To keep it short, we are ANGRY ?????? But ok... Breathe. 1, 2, 3...

Let's start from the beginning. Since 2017, Remote-how together with the world's leading #remote experts is on the mission to help companies create remote-first workplaces. If you believe in at least one of the points from our manifesto, welcome to the #remote-first family.

• Company culture needs to be based on trust and transparency
• Work should be time & place independent
• Work should be based on outcome-based
• Leaders should be Mentors, not a task-schedulers
• The workplace should be diverse & inclusive

When the whole world went remote in 2020, we knew that the fight to keep this as a permanent change in how we work won't be easy. It's July 2022, and businesses all over the world need to go through an actual remote-first transformation (going beyond “tips & tricks), and need to step up! But... some people want to stop the revolution.

?? The #office lobby doesn’t sleep and wants to fight...

If we want to create a better future, where people are happier, healthier, and have more time for their families, hobbies, or activism...

?? We need to ACT NOW to help #remotework stay.

?? Therefore, we decided to act!!! Today we are launching the Remote-First Institute to fight for a better, remote-first future.?

Remote-First Institute is a not-for-profit organization created together with the world’s leading future of work experts. We are on a mission to advocate for a remote-first work approach and provide companies with world-class know-how on how to implement it.??
