One of the things we love to do is look at how things are done and consider doing them differently. For us, it is utter madness that some people spend up to 10-15 hours a week getting ready for work and commuting across town to an office.
It’s madness that when we arrive at work we are bombarded with unproductive distractions, meetings about meetings, multitasking madness and stuck glued to an uncomfortable chair, sound familiar?
You know, pretty much everything that we do in offices today can also be done anywhere in the world, yes that’s true, think about what you do from your desk every day.
Sure, we all need some face to face socialising time every now and then but hey when you’ve got your laptop, your phone, your headset, your video and your own wifi/internet - do you really need to be at the office at all?
If we are to be honest with ourselves, most of us don't actually need to be at work everyday, just because it's always been like that. Most of us would be potentially more productive, planning as a team exactly when we all need to be together and using video when we don't.
You may or may not know but remote jobs are exploding as many businesses now know that it could be better to hire someone to work from home, then ask them to come to office and pay for all the cost to productiveness and office space.
The big businesses have been changing for years, but now I feel the small businesses get it too.Think remote first, office second #itschanging!

6 年I like this article Richard. Always wondered why staff with laptop and phone remote access in to work whether government or private. Save heaps on both time and costs communting, less congested roads and trains. I presume with us govt its the OHS standards that matter if work from home insured or not and less supervised.
