(Newswire.net — December 2, 2020) — Working from home is the new normal nowadays. As a result of the coronavirus pandemic, remote work is no longer a temporary change, but a way of life. It has been estimated that 64% of Americans are now working from home regularly.
With so much change and uncertainty in the world, many people are finding themselves struggling to stay productive while working from home.
Surviving Remote Work by Sharon Koifman aims to change this. The book launched on the 17th of November, and it couldn’t have come at a better time. Koifman is an expert in remote work. In fact, he’s ‘obsessed’ with it!
Amidst this horrible pandemic, Koifman’s book is a respite from all the stress of 2020. Not only does Koifman detail how employees can manage and even thrive from working at home, but it is also for managers and leaders struggling to keep their employees motivated.
More than just everyday advice
This book is not just an average self-help book. It is so much more, because Koifman puts over 20 years of experience running remote businesses into practice. Throughout the book, Koifman includes key ‘takeaways’ for both employees and managers.
This book predominantly aims to tackle the problems that managers might face with remote work, and answers questions like ‘how can I be certain my team are actually doing the work they’re saying they’re doing?’ and ‘how can I keep my company’s data secure online?’
Perhaps most importantly, Koifman discusses how to ensure that your employees are happy and healthy during these strange times. Mental health issues are a bigger killer than COVID, so this is something managers need to pay attention to.
Managers can learn effective ways to tackle some of the most common issues that can happen when everyone works from home, and workers can learn how to create a manageable work-life balance.
Refreshing writing
This book isn’t a boring list telling you exactly what you need to do to manage remote work. It is readable, and it is hilarious. Koifman’s writing is invigorating, and his conversational tone makes you feel like you are not just reading a book, but listening to a friend.
Who needs this book?
The coronavirus pandemic hasn’t discriminated. It has affected every single person and every single workplace, and it is a challenge for most.
