Remote: Office No Required

The Industrial Revolution saw the first major shake-up in work in history. No longer did the worker head to the fields but instead to the office or the factory.

Now, we’re undergoing a new revolution, where the work goes to the worker, and Remote: No Office Required is Jason Fried’s explanation as to why. 

Why We Love Remote

This is Fried’s business and social case for remote working. 

If you’re unsure as to how to approach your boss for permission to work from home, this is a great place to start planning the conversation.

In these pages, you’ll learn not just why anyone that can work remotely should do so but also how this can be made to bring real benefits to employers.

The expansion of the talent pool, the boost to employee loyalty, reduced office costs, etc. are nothing to be sneezed at. 

FINAL NOTES
