Back to the Future of Work: How to Dominate the Remote Work Revolution

I thought the future of work was a zero-sum game.

It’s not.

Most companies will downsize office footprint by 50% and let everyone work from home 3–4 days a week. This will help them become more capital efficient while expanding the talent pool they can hire from.

The physical office and a companies remote work policy will be complimentary.

The office will become a destination for events and be redesigned to increase the quality of human interaction, not a place where time is wasted. As offices have evolved to become more open-plan the quality of the environment has plummeted. They are a terrible place for any worker to do deep focussed work without constant distractions and interruptions.

Step Forward remote working

Remote work lets us go back to the future. Every worker is given back the private space they need to do deep focussed work. By redistributing office space to home we can exponentially increase productivity and quality of work while simultaneously increasing workers work-life balance, lowering their cost of living, and causing less pollution. It’s a rare win-win for all.
