Working Remotely: Secrets to Success for Employees on Distributed Teams

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 Working Remotely, 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.“Working Remotely 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“Working Remotely 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

أنت أمام كتاب غنيّ ومُلهم، شعرتُ وأنت تقرأ ملخصه وكأنك تدخل تجربة عملية مُصاغة بخبرة تراكمت من واقع الفرق الموزعة. يعرض لك المؤلفون تفاصيل دقيقة عن عالم العمل عن بُعد، لا باعتباره مجرد انتقال من المكتب إلى المنزل، بل كتحوّل ثقافي وهيكلي كامل يتطلب انضباطًا ووعيًا ذاتيًا. ستجد نفسك تتنقل بين الجوانب التقنية والإدارية والنفسية، فتتعرف على أدوات الإنتاجية، وطرائق إدارة الوقت، وأساليب التواصل الفعّال، وكيفية الحفاظ على التوازن بين حياتك الشخصية ومسارك المهني. الأجمل في الكتاب أنه لا يغفل الجانب الإنساني، بل يضعك وجهًا لوجه أمام تحديات العزلة والإجهاد الرقمي، ويمنحك حلولًا عملية لتجاوزها. ستشعر أن المؤلفين يخاطبونك مباشرة، يوجّهونك نحو النمو والتطور حتى وأنت بعيد عن المكتب. إذا كنت تفكر في خوض تجربة العمل عن بُعد أو تسعى لتعزيز نجاحك فيها، فهذا الكتاب سيكون مرشدك الموثوق في الرحلة

This book discusses a transitin to remote working and what needs to be arranged. The perspective o an employee is taken, with the final chapter exploring thngs from the managers perspective. Key areas include arranging your workspace, scheduling evelopment of relationships and careers. The book was written pre covid-19 and whild more emloyees are now woring remotely, I would recommend the lessons of thi book to all.

After working remotely since 2006, I had the opportunity to switch to another role (also remote), but for a smaller company. I was looking to be reminded of ideas that work for hybrid workforces (onsite/remote). There were only 4 pages on this particular topic, so that was disappointing.

There is definitely some other good advice in the book, though.

Fantastic resource

Written by and for remote workers, this book is an incredible resource. Whether you’re currently working remotely or might in future, this is the book for you...and for your manager, too. It’s comprehensive and oh so helpful!
