Book Synopsis
With increased demand for hybrid and fully remote work styles, most firms understand that some form of distance work is here to stay - and have put some remote protocols in place. But are they the right ones? Do they reflect best practices when it comes to the hiring, training, and onboarding of new remote hires? Are policies and workflows in place that enable remote workers to be as productive as possible? Does management know how to keep remote teams engaged while keeping an eye out for burnout and other wellness issues?
Often, the answer is "we're not quite there yet." Many companies either see the shift to remote work as a threat to their culture and management style, or they just don't know how to make the transition. It's time to take advantage of the many opportunities remote work presents. Stop saying "we're not there yet," and start saying "we've arrived!" This book will show you how.From the Back Cover
