Secrets of the Remote Workforce

by Teresa Douglas, Holly Gordon, Mike Webber

The world is now your office! You can work from home, from a coffee shop, or even from the gym—but how do you keep on task and stay motivated when you’re alone. In Secrets of the Remote Workforce , authors Mike, Holly, and Teresa discuss how to ward off toxic levels of loneliness, how to get what you need from colleagues spread across the world, and how to network and grow in your career when you are sitting in an office of one, plus many other topics that will help you survive and thrive as a remote worker. Mike, Holly, and Teresa use their different paths through Kaplan to help the remote worker figure out how to set up the right headspace for them. “Secrets of the Remote Workforce paints a very real picture of what it's like to be a remote worker in an organisation... In contrast to most books on remote work which have been written with managers, business owners or freelancers in mind, Secrets of the Remote Workforce speaks directly to employees, guiding them through their day to day.” -Pilar Orti Director of Virtual not Distant “ Secrets of the Remote Workforce is a terrific map for helping employees who work remotely take charge of their own career. The authors have all survived and thrived as remote employees... While other resources focus on how to manage remote employees, this book highlights the power that employees have to drive success for themselves.” -Susan Cates, Strategic Advisor

It’s nice to read something about remote work that’s less about the productivity benefits and more about the reality of what it’s like to work from home 100% of the time. Feelings of vindication aside, I also picked up a few tips about communication and career management. I skimmed it this time, but I will be dipping back into this one in the future.
