HR Superstars Podcast’s Post

What word - beginning with the letter 'e' - will lead businesses of all kinds to create more humane and productive work environments? I had a conversation with Jen Dennard, Co-founder of Range (on the remote work life podcast) in which she urged listeners to reconsider their views on work. She highlighted five key points that could significantly reshape our understanding and implementation of work, let alone, remote work. One of the most noteworthy points she emphasized is windowed work. This approach to work focuses on a flexible schedule tailored to individual needs. It breaks away from the traditional 9-to-5 work pattern, allowing employees to choose their peak productive hours to accomplish tasks. This can lead to better work-life balance, decreased stress, and increased productivity. Besides windowed work, she also emphasized empathy in the workplace, the crucial role of documentation, the need for regular interactions to battle feelings of isolation, and the alignment of individual and team goals. The broader message here is that remote work isn't merely a tool to enhance productivity but a potential catalyst for a more 𝐞𝐦𝐩𝐚𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐭𝐢𝐜, human-centric work culture. What are your thoughts on these perspectives about work? Be sure to also tune into the podcast for the entire conversation. #digitalnomad #RemoteWork #remoteworklife.

“The majority of revenue professionals work multiple jobs, they work multiple side hustles, some work two jobs simultaneously” One of the many interesting topics debated on Angles and Insight, with Wade Foster and Jason M. Lemkin, was around the state of remote work. To me, it seems that the forces on the “pro remote work” side would point to… Access to a wider talent pool, higher employee happiness, more flexibility, more work-life balance The forces on the “skeptical of remote work” side would point to…. Less productivity, impacted culture, more distracted employees. And then of course you have a lot of companies embracing a hybrid model (which can work, although Wade cautions brands to be careful of creating many subcultures) Ultimately though, it seems that a more open dialogue needs to happen between executives and their teams. What I hear from operators day in and day out is they wish they could be in-person. They prefer in person. But it doesn’t feel tenable in today’s climate. Not all of them, but I think a greater percentage than folks realize. Lemkin echoes this in the podcast. It feels like this will naturally create walls and disconnect with teams if executives only begrudgingly allow remote because they have no choice. What do you see?

Why Working from Home is a win-win-win... Nick Bloom’s recent post highlighting his research on why remote working is a win for firms (due to increased productivity of $20,000 a year for each remote day a week), employees, and society is extremely compelling.
