Remote: Office Not Required Audiobook (Free)

Summary:

The founders of Basecamp explore the ‘work from house’ phenomenon and show precisely how a remote work setup could be accomplished.

The Industrial Revolution’s ‘under one roof’ style of conducting work is steadily declining as technology creates virtual workspaces that allow employees to provide their essential contribution without physically clustering together.

Remote work escalates the skill pool, reduces turnover, lessens the real estate footprint, and improves the ability to conduct business across multiple time zones, to mention just a few advantages. As Fried and Hansson clarify the challenges and unexpected benefits of this trend, they show why-with a few controversial exceptions such as Yahoo–more businesses will want to promote this model of getting things done.
