The Remote Work Revolution Keep Employees by Sending Them Home
1. The Remote Work Revolution
"One of the secret benefits of using remote
workers is that the work itself becomes the
yardstick to judge someone's performance."
Jason Fried
6. • Imagine a time where you could work a
job – out of passion or necessity – without
having to leave the comfort of your living
room or favorite coffee shop.
• Is that time now?
8. • One largely unpredicted benefit of the
spread of the internet was it would provide
people the opportunity to escape
traditional work settings.
9. • Some studies estimate that up to 70% of
the workforce works remotely at least
once a week — and that’s a global
estimate.
10. • Broadly speaking, millennials are often
seen as being impatient with inefficiencies.
In five years, millennials will make up
75% of the workforce — and many will be
bosses.
12. • Working remotely is arguably beneficial for
both employees and employers. Otherwise…
• Businesses spend money on office
space, electricity bills, janitorial staff, etc.
• Employees spend the majority of their
waking lives sitting in traffic or dealing
with the noise of open office plans.
13. • Avoiding the office and working from a device
at home offers a plethora of unprecedented
environmental benefits.
15. • Employees are one of the most valuable
assets of any company.
• A major perk any company can offer a
potential employee is the chance to work
elsewhere, either regularly or
occasionally.
16. A 2014 study by a leading software service
provider found that:
• 80% of remote workers reported higher morale
• 82% said remote work helped lower stress
levels
• 69% reported lower absenteeism
18. • If most of the workforce doesn’t have to ‘go to
work’, what will our society look like?
19. • It’s an exciting transition and what it will
ultimately look like is absolutely anyone’s
guess.
20. “It is by no means an irrational fancy that, in a
future existence, we shall look upon what we
think our present existence, as a dream.”
― Edgar Allan Poe
Reminds me of a Kobe interview = he said he didn’t care if his employees were there 1 minute or 24 hours, if their work was high quality he was satisfied.
An eight-hour day’s work completed in three?
The rest of the day spent with family, cooking, surfing, or taking lawn bowling classes?
Office buildings bulldozed and transformed into green spaces?
Freeways used for jogging, cycling, and dog-walking?
I deleted a slide right after this because it was from another PPT.
