Summary: A future-looking, game-changing book about the radical transformational potential of working from home"-- Hellish daily commutes and the demands of jam-packed work schedules no longer make sense. But how can we realize that future in a way that benefits workers and companies alike? Warzel and Petersen illuminate the key values and questions that should be driving this conversation: trust, fairness, flexibility, inclusive workplaces, equity, and work-life balance. Above all, they argue that companies need to listen to their employee - and that this will promote, rather than impede, productivity and profitability. Working from home is about so much more than zoom meetings and hybrid schedules: it aims to reshape our entire relationship to the office. https://scribepublications.co.uk/books-authors/books/out-of-office-9781913348786
