Remote Work is Delivering the Biggest Quality of Life Upgrade for a Generation
Remote work is the biggest workplace revolution in history and nothing will deliver a higher quality of life increase in the next decade than this. Workers having more flexibility to decide their work schedule, able to operate when they are most productive rather than a fixed day, enables a far better future of work than the one we currently experience.
?? Quality of Life
Remote work is about improving your quality of life
Giving people the freedom to organize work around their lives rather than the other way around. Working when it suits them rather than being expected to occupy a seat
?? Trust
Remote work is about trust
Giving adults the autonomy to do great work rather than appeasing the ego of a middle manager who feels important watching their team, interrupting them constantly with meeting requests and idle chatter which distracts them.
?? Control
Remote work is about control and flexibility.
Letting them drop and collect their children from school, attend appointments without asking for permission, going for an afternoon run if that's what they need to re-energize.
Allowing people to work when they are most productive rather than prescribing a singular approach for everyone that fits nobody.
?? Balance
Remote work is about balance.
Having the time to do the things we love with the people we care about most. Working remotely has freed me to spend more time with my family and friend, improving my health well-being and happiness
???♀? autonomy
Remote work is about autonomy
Putting people in a position to do the best work they have ever done in their lives by getting out the way and letting them do it.
Every day I hear awesome things remote has let people do
Caring for a family member, having the freedom to surf at lunch, seeing your Childs 1st steps, allowing people to work who physically couldn't in an office.
Real human stories with a massive impact and noticeable implications on happiness.
Remote work is about health and well being, happiness and joy, time and freedom
Companies who appreciate this will dominate the 2020s
The benefits for companies are equally as obvious as they are for workers
??Money
Office-first companies spend $18,400 on average, per workplace, per person. For a 1,000 person company, this is a massive expense $18.4m a year
Remote is $2,000 per team member for the best possible remote setup, or a $16.4m saving per 1,000 workers.
??Talent
A physical office means you can hire the best person you can afford in a 30-mile radius, disqualifying you from 99.9% of the world’s talent.
Remote teams can hire the best person they can afford on the planet.
???♂?First-mover
Companies who move first have a massive benefit.
They'll hire the most talented people from their biggest competitors. They will keep their best people from leaving because remote team members stay longer.
?Productivity
The biggest challenge for companies is that setting a remote team up for success is expensive, time-consuming, and making sure workers are safer more comfortable and productive at home than they could be in an office is hard.
This holds companies back who would transition if it was easy

4 年I had been a remote worker for the better part of a decade, when I ended up taking an in-office job a few years ago (not just in-office from 8:00-5:00, but full suit and tie with white or blue shirt only). The entire office culture was built around the office, and there was really no such thing as remote access for the vast majority of the workforce (IT only). I was spending 3-4 hours commuting every day, and I really realized how much remote work was a far better approach for a real work-life balance and overall quality of both life and work. I can't imagine EVER going back to a full time office job again,

4 年There are doubtless many benefits of remote working or at least for companies to offer the flexibility to utilise it from time to time. But, personally, I don’t think there is a substitute for face to face interaction or the impromptu discussions that occur in an office environment that can lead to new ideas, improvements and innovation.
