Remote WorkIs it good or bad for business? In

order to find out an answer to thisquestion, we at ProofHub decided

to get in touch with some ofinspiring leaders and get their views

on the topic. Not too much to oursurprise, majority of them were infavor of remote work culture and

believed that it is a huge plus for thebusiness.

Sandeep Kashyap (Founder and CEO ofProofHub)

I, personally, am a big advocate ofremote work. Being an employer itgives me the freedom to choose the

best talent to work for me fromacross the globe.

At ProofHub we have a team ofpeople working from our physicaloffice as well as people working

remotely. And, it has worked outpretty well so far.

Jacob Cass (A prolific graphic designer whoruns the popular design blog, Just Creative)

Remote working is all I ever do so Ican’t say that it is bad for business.

The flexibility and freedom ofworking from a remote location

can’t be beat, especially with all thetools available now to make it such

a breeze. Slack channels, onlinetools, video chat and more. What

more do you need other than Wi-Fi?

Stephen Key (A successful entrepreneurand co-founder of inventRight)

Our increasing ability to work remotelyis fantastic for business, I think,

because it’s fantastic for people. Ibecame an entrepreneur in part

because I wanted to choose where Ilived and when I worked.

We work with students from all overthe globe. And we’re very successful at

it. I want to employ the best people. Idon’t care where they’re coming from.

Miles Jennings (Founder and CEO ofRecruiter.com)

Even with oversight, remote work isself-directed to a degree and in everycase requires self-motivation. It’s notfor everyone, as this process requires

ongoing commitment and a strongdesire to succeed.

If your team can meet this challenge,remote work can be transformativefor your employees and your overall

business.

Rohan Ayyar (Analyst, Strategist,Resultist at E2M)

Enabling employees to work remotelyis no longer a question of good or bad — it’s a question of when and how.

Various studies have found thatsaving workers their daily commute

leads — unsurprisingly — to highersatisfaction, lower stress levels, andactually makes them want to work

more.

Nischal Shetty (Founder & CEO ofCrowdfire)

Remote working can allow you tohave your own flexible schedule andlifestyle but being physically present

with your team ensures excellentcollaboration.

Just because remote working didn’twork out well (in the first go) for us,doesn’t mean that it’s bad for every

business. Remote working can befeasible for teams with very little

interdependency.

Robert Kelly (PMO/Execution Leaderat Lenovo, Co-Founder at #PMChat)

Remote work allows your team to gettheir work done, by the deadlines you

set or they commit to, and they can do itas their schedule permits. Work to

live…not live to work.

With the increasing popularity ofunified communications platforms in

the enterprise (think Microsoft/Skype &Google) and the use of tools like

ProofHub, teams can collaborate in real-time and from anywhere in the world.
