Almost 75 % of our staff worked from home during the pandemic, 40% of which still do today without slowing productivity. A lot went into that statistic behind the scenes. So today on Agents Growth Academy, host Jim Schubert will share how to make working from home actually work, starting with the “why” and following through with systems of accountability.

3 Key Takeaways

• Become 100% clear on your company’s vision before asking yourself if you should allow remote work. That way, you can ask if it aligns with that vision. 
• Remote work is hard to undo, but some of the remote workers Jim has hired are qualified, legacy employees. Don’t rule out this option without looking into it. 
• Your accountability measurables need to be conducted at a regular pace, whether that’s employee feedback loops or responsibility chart check-ins.
