The world of hybrid and remote management is a territory that has yet to be completely explored—this book provides some simple navigational aids to help managers and leaders find their way.
Research indicates that over 56% of college graduates currently work either remotely or in a hybrid arrangement, while prior to the pandemic, less than 5% of working hours were remote. How to manage remote and hybrid workers has rapidly become a significant challenge, and one that often requires new policies and organizational restructuring. The remote work handbooks available are tactical, which can be helpful for day-to-day decisions but not to tackle larger issues and initiatives. This book presents a fully formed, research-backed strategic framework: more than a vehicle to the future, it will help leaders to understand where they are now and what is happening around them to change the landscape, and to decide where they want to be.
Speaking to senior executives and team leaders, as well as business students, this book will become the preferred tool for the development and evaluation of remote and hybrid management policy and strategy across industries.
