趨勢觀察家爭相推薦,一同見證虛擬辦公時代來臨!
「在家工作」已成為現代社會現象,知名網路公司創辦人Fried and Hansson點出虛擬辦公室的優劣之處,更分析為何越來越多公司願意推廣這樣的工作方式。
現代科技讓虛擬辦公室如雨後春筍般冒出,員工不再需要「身體力行」才能為公司效力,讓工業革命以來「一個屋簷下」的工作型態逐漸式微,現在,不再是員工移動腳步,而是工作以其他形式傳送至我們眼前。路透社指出,目前世界上五個人中有一個常遠端辦公,百分之十的人則每天在家辦公。身兼母職的人尤其樂見此種趨勢,更有60%的人渴望擁有這樣的自由工作形式。不只是員工,許多公司也認同虛擬辦公所帶來的優勢:擴大可用人力資源、降低員工流動率、減少不動產成本、以及跨時區作業等等。
Remote將為你打開遠端辦公新視野,不論你是管理階層、獨立作業或者是公司團隊一員,本書將為你解讀虛擬辦公室如何提高工作效率、帶來創新力、以及如何一步步達成這項好事。

For too long our lives have been dominated by the 'under one roof' Industrial Revolution model of work. That era is now over. There is no longer a reason for the daily roll call, of the need to be seen with your butt on your seat in the office. The technology to work remotely and to avoid the daily grind of commuting and meetings has finally come of age, and bestselling authors Jason Fried and David Heinemeier Hansson are the masters of making it work at tech company 37signals. Remote working is the future - and it is rushing towards us.
Remote: Office Not Required combines eye-opening ideas with entertaining narrative. It will convince you that working remotely increases productivity and innovation, and it will also teach you how to get it right - whether you are a manager, working solo or one of a team. Chapters include: 'Talent isn't bound by the hubs', 'It's the technology, stupid', 'When to type, when to talk', 'Stop managing the chairs' and 'The virtual water cooler'.
Brilliantly simple and refreshingly illuminating this is a call to action to end the tyranny of being shackled to the office.
