Ratings and reviews

Excellent Insight and Advice Audiobook Review: If only this book could have come out in March 2020, I think it could have saved a lot of people and businesses a lot of headaches when business-employee models had to turn on a dim. The author has personal experience in working remotely, and in this book, she has done a deep dive into what that means for individuals, teams, and companies. She lays out what precisely it is and the variations it can take as well as how workers, teams, management/leadership, and companies can make it work the best for them. She points to a lot of benefits for both the individual employee and the company. Interesting statistics and quotes from workers and management in a variety of industries about how this model works for them and their companies can be found throughout the book. The author also lays out some very practical advice for people at all levels in a company. The beginning part of the book could also be relevant for individual freelancers or solopreneurs. During this still uncertain time when so many companies have been forced into having their employees work from home, this book has valuable insights and tips about how to make it work for everyone involved—and the business/company. I received a free copy of this book, but that did not affect my review.
