In this episode… Following the pandemic, remote work environments have become increasingly common. Contrary to the beliefs of managers and company leaders, this work style encourages connections and employee relationships through video meetings in personal residences. So, what are some of the widespread benefits of remote work? According to remote work advocate Barbie Brewer, working from home fosters stronger communities by retaining employees in a given region. These flexible work locations provide a wealth of opportunities for minorities and disadvantaged people who otherwise lack the resources to commute. Employees can then give back to their community and invest in the local economy. Focusing the future of work around communities instead of companies creates greater living conditions for all populations. In this episode of What The Teck?, Rolando Rosas and Dave Kelly sit down with Barbie Brewer, the Global Executive of People and Culture at LG Ads Solutions, to dismantle misconceptions about remote work and advocate for its widespread adoption. Barbie shares her thoughts on social connections in the workplace, the discrepancies in regional employee compensation, and how organizations can ensure success in a remote work environment.
