We sure do agree with these 3 reasons that remote workers outperform office workers. In addition, we can’t remember the last time we were sick. We’re not sharing germs with the office or the people on the bus or train. We can get some personal things done, so that we are more present with the work we do. We love the autonomy to get things done!

Thank you Quartz at Work for this great Guide for managing your people who work from home! “Remote workers don’t have to be managed very differently than counterparts who come into the office daily. By keeping communications and expectations consistent, managers of geographically diverse teams can build relationships that bridge the distance.”

We love the tips here from the folks at Trello for tackling the biggest challenges of working remotely. Plus there’s a new look at, just what exactly is “work-life” balance? The last sentence, however, is what really resonates with us here at Athena: “Make remote work a skill in itself to develop and perfect, and it will feed back into your satisfaction with it tenfold.”

“You want to be measured by what you accomplish in a day — not how busy you look. With no one peering over your cubicle wall, there is no need to keep up appearances. So you can focus on doing meaningful work.” – Brian de Haaf, CEO of software company Aha!
We love this CEO’s take on the the health and freedom that comes from people getting to work remotely. He runs a fully distributed team and has seen the benefits first hand, as have we at Athena Executive Services.
