Home remote working… Sometimes, in a role that is based out of office, at home you can easily become distant from colleagues. Sure TEAMs and technology help connect us and there are plenty of positives to take from home working, but there really isn’t anything better than spending time with colleagues. My colleague, Charlotte, and I both have roles based from home, which is great as we are also busy mums with big families so the flexibility is great. But we often miss that office interaction / banter so we have decided to take the time each week to meet up to work collaboratively together. One of the first times we met, we stumbled upon an amazing space which we can call our ‘office’ each week. From the first time we went we felt welcomed and appreciated, somewhere we now have a great relationship with the team and are on first name basis with. The Green Room is where we call our home one day a week, each week. Home working sometimes does feel quite remote, The Green Room changes this for me. #remoteworking #henley #thegreenroom #coworkingcafe

Rushing through the traffic, today I was thinking on how much time I spend over the years commuting to my jobs. Driving or in a bus, taking trams or also in the summer by bicycle. I loved that after pandemic, home office was an option. Maybe I am an introvert and I like sleeping in the morning, but I would never ever go back to full time office 9h/day + lunch time. I am getting older, and time is the only currency that I am not getting back. So, is the current company where you work putting pressure to people come back in the office? Name few companies that are calling people back in the office and how you feel about it. #homeoffice #commuting #backtooffice #timenevergoesback #HRpolicies

4 days a week in the office is not hybrid working. What happened to working remotely? The tubes in London are packed and the streets are heaving. Sure, I get the fact that city centre businesses need to be supported but as a Freelancer; I've been saying for years... All I need is wi-fi and a plug. I don't need a 2+ hour round trip commute, a 1-hour lunch break and endless on-site meetings to produce better work. Remote doesn't work for everyone, but for those who love the freedom, flexibility and can produce at least as good quality of work then surely this type of working should be encouraged, no?

Are you better working from home or in an office environment? 💻 The shift to remote work has brought about both challenges and benefits.

Working from home vs coming to the office. There is a viral post going around from a guy having to come to the office in a snowstorm and as a result he switched off all work related apps from his phone. Boss tried to call after hours, no answer...why? Because no work from home. Essentially: It doesnt matter which camp you are in. Either Coming, or home. It matters how "tight" you want to be on those, how black and white, how 50 Shades of Grey. Example from the post: Boss: Fabi, no more working from home. Every day office. Fabi: Ok, consider my phone switched off the moment I leave the office....as you said: No working from home!!! We need to remember. This is not a pissing contest. It's people's lives. And with all things in life: 50 Shades of Grey and Collaboration beats Black and White hardcore rules

❓Do you like working from home?❓ Personally, I get far too antsy. I like having somewhere to go. I like being around people. I like a destination. Interaction. That said, flexibility is great! Knowing I CAN work remotely when/if needed. Knowing that one or two days a week I can roll out of bed and hop online. I say all this as an excuse to bring up that I finally, after 5+ years of hybrid employment, have created an actual working space for myself (vs sitting at the kitchen counter with a laptop and a portable monitor). Yesterday I put the finishing touches on a new spot in my den (or Mojo Dojo Casa House - thanks Barbie). Honestly, if it weren’t for not having a bathroom, my wife could almost banish me here for good. As you can see, despite my age, I also still love toys too 😄 (not pictured: my arcade cabinet). I’m excited to put in some working hours down here though on the days I’m not in an office! What do your spaces look like? It would be fun to see other setups and how my network keeps themselves comfortable and productive from home! #hybrid #workfromhome #remote #office #motivation #inspiration #tuesday #leadership #development #commute #virtual #creativity
