Hand-picked articles, stories and ideas from the remote work community and beyond.
Can Remote Teams Be Innovative?
Becky Kane | Ambition & Balance - by Doist
It’s hard not to think that leaders who say remote teams can’t be innovative are telling on themselves. Instead of seeing a potential problem as a starting point, they jump to writing off remote work entirely. Not exactly an innovative mindset.
Work From Home Has the Power to Advance Equality—or Set It Back
Rebecca Greenfield | Bloomberg
“Remote work has the potential to open up opportunities. That’s the argument, and that’s true,” says Jed Kolko, chief economist at Indeed. “But there are a whole bunch of buts.” One is that more than 60% of jobs can’t be done from home, and those who tend to work in remote-friendly fields are more likely to be White and Asian, higher paid, and more educated.
Can knowledge industries escape superstar cities?
Noah Smith | Noahpinion
The real question is whether distributed work will allow second-tier cities like Tulsa to take enough knowledge workers to bring them some of that superstar energy, thus relieving the pressure on places like San Francisco. Even that is a tall order, since the top cities exert many different kinds of gravitational pulls all at once.
Post-Pandemic Silicon Valley Isn't A Place
Kim-Mai Cutler | View from Initialized
Two-thirds of our portfolio companies will still use an office, but we’ll see a huge step change pre- and post-pandemic, with more than one-third of companies moving to a fully remote or decentralized model.
Simply Replicating the In-Office Experience Remotely Doesn't Work
Rebecca Hinds | Inc.
Many have been trying to replicate their physical office environment in a virtual setting. But replication doesn’t often work. Here are a few reasons why.
Use This Startup's Playbook for Running Impactful Virtual Offsites
First Round | First Round Review
Offsites may have been paused or put off initially, but as many startups embrace remote-first policies and plan to stay out of the office for at least the rest of the year (or even well into 2021), there’s no reason to hold off any longer.
