Truth, Lies and Work

42. How to Make Remote Working Work


Listen Later

Is remote work the future? Or is the office back?! We battle it out over the next two weeks to find the ultimate winner.

In the first of a 2-part series, we discuss remote work. Did the pandemic change work life for the better? Is WFT better for productivity? And what impact does working remotely really have on our mental health and well-being?

To answer these questions and more, we're joined by two incredible guests. Let's meet Team Remote!


Ross Simmonds

Ross is CEO at Foundation, a content marketing agency that combines data and creativity to develop and serve ambitious B2B brands. Foundation operates 100% remotely. He is also the host of 'Create like the Greats', our sibling show on the HubSpot Podcast Network.


Bethany Samson

Beth is People Director at Investors in People, a community interest company calling for organisational change that puts people first - for the benefit of every person. We had the pleasure of meeting Beth at the Watercooler conference where she was one of the speakers and panel facilitators. She has since been named a Finalist for People Leader of the Year.


Join the conversation as we discuss:

  • How remote work is the preferred choice
  • If remote-first makes companies more competitive
  • Remote work and work-life balance
  • Improved flexibility for parents and caregivers
  • Impact of remote work on employee engagement and wellbeing
  • The future of work

  • Remember this is part 1 of a 2-part series. Be sure to subscribe so you don't miss Part 2!
