So time for Five From The Island. This week we explore some interesting perspectives on what changes when you work outside an office, in terms of work … [Read more...] about FIVE FROM THE ISLAND: 4 Dec 20

Five From The Island: 30 Oct 20

This week’s Five From The Island has an overall theme of communication across remote working groups.

Five From The Island: 9 Oct 20

October 9, 2020 by Matthew Weeks

This week we cover a lot of ground: from tech giant Microsoft joining big employers in inviting workers to stay home permanently (and with “geopay” comp adjustments if they move), to the ergonomics crisis that is spreading across kitchen tables and spare bedrooms and home offices everywhere. Yes it’s a pain in the neck (and back, and elbow, and eyes). We discover who is … [Read more...] about Five From The Island: 9 Oct 20

We also share an article exploring the unexpected “scatter” of data across systems, which … [Read more...] about Five From The Island: 25 Sept 20

Five From The Island: 18 Sept 20

September 18, 2020 by Matthew Weeks

This week we explore how we think about offices, sober reminders that a number of leaders in large companies are still resistant to long term remote working, to some good news about how visionary companies are recognizing remote as a permanent pillar and creating new positions to manage and improve. We include an article that has an ominous warning about what we call “zero … [Read more...] about Five From The Island: 18 Sept 20

In a hybrid work world, white-collar employers have embraced the concept of "hot-desking" (not having your own desk) as a savings tool. Employees don't love it. https://www.theglobeandmail.com/business/article-the-great-divide-over-over-hot-desking-while-companies-see-cost/

The folks at @CultureAmp have shared four areas that People & Ops teams should focus on in 2022.
