Making Remote Work Work (getAbstract Summary)

Work from the beach, the mountains, or your house. Work your own hours, as long as you get the job done. Until the Industrial Revolution, doing your job from home was a worker’s only option. Now, remote work may well dominate the labor landscape again. Even before the onset of COVID-19, firms were increasingly allowing employees to work remotely, for a variety of reasons. But how do you make the most out of getting out of the office? This audio-only course, adapted from Gil Gildner’s book Making Remote Work Work, explains everything companies and workers need to know about the pros and cons of virtual work and a virtual workforce. The course covers benefits and challenges of remote work, strategies to mitigate drawbacks, and important factors to consider both for managers and employees. Remote work isn’t for everyone, and it’s not a panacea for every problem in your career. But with the right approach, you can make working remotely work for you.
