Top Thought Leaders in remote working

• Remote work isolation and loneliness can negatively impact individuals’ mental health and well-being… be intentional about taking breaks from your workspace and scheduling opportunities to connect with others outside of work. Building and maintaining career relationships is the responsibility of both the employer and employee.

• Figure out what schedule you want. Whether fully in person, fully remote, or hybrid – and choose an employer that offers that. Many people will have to change jobs to get their ideal working schedule.

• We’ve entered a new era, remote / anywhere work means we can all find our dream role at the perfect company (for us). ‘Work’ becomes meaningfully integrated into our daily lives. Hunt down the companies where you find true alignment (across vision, mission and culture). Authentically tell them why you’re the person to bring your genius to their organization! Sarah Hawley, CEO and Founder,  Growmotely

• Grab a blank slate and redesign your life around a home, locale, and community that fulfills you. The future of work is actually the future of living.

• Rethink where, when, and how you work best… craft your perfect workday to optimize for your productivity and well-being. Intentionality is vital for remote workers, and taking this extra step can unlock a superpower that remote work flexibility provides.

• Remote and hybrid work are actually digital work. We need to understand how to connect and collaborate effectively digitally.

Tsedal Neeley, Harvard Business School

• We often forget remote work can take its toll on workers’ and leaders’ wellbeing. One of the best things you can do to avoid burnout is to make self-care a priority… organize your calendar proactively, nurture social connections regularly and adopt a routine with self-care activities integrated into every workday.
