"I came to understand that working remotely provided me with an opportunity to be smarter about how I worked, to optimise my work day for my own productivity and promote a healthier work-life balance." Insights from
@AHollandSmith
on remote work:
“As remote becomes par for the course for organizations the world over, a new wave of tools is likely to emerge. One such tool comes from the team at Automattic. They herald P2 as a platform for teams to share, discuss, and collaborate openly, without interruption.”
Leaders must communicate that it’s OK not to respond to things in real-time, that it’s OK to decline meeting requests, that it’s OK to turn off notifications, and that it’s OK not be online all day.
