I spoke to 5 global enterprises about remote work last week
Here’s what they told me about their plans for the future

Here’s what they told me about their plans for the future
[ a thread ]




All of them plan to cut it by atleast 50% and as much as 70%

Rather than hiring the best person in a 30-mile radius of the office, they’ll hire the best person on the planet

It’s increased. They now know remote work works

Each company plans to let people work from home 60-100% of the time

Designing in person time to maximise value and social connection

Measuring this is a big problem most are still searching for ways to solve

Some will begin ordering time off on a monthly/quarterly basis to combat this

The assumption already is that they won’t respond in 2021

They know they have to if they want to attract the best talent

A large proportion no longer live close enough to commute regularly

Where physical relationships existed prior the quality is unaffected
They see a challenge where people have never met teams

That change in culture has led to more creativity and better communication in several companies

Big issue as companies lean into remote work more

They need to do something to combat this rapidly

It’s been a huge focus in recent years while working onsite. Most companies are interested in ways to do this remotely

Empathetic leaders are thriving. The importance of checking in on your team the most important skill

This will grow over time rather than leaving when an employee leaves

The thing they are most interested in exploring are asynchronous ways of working

They are thinking about ways they can help working parents with childcare
