Working From Home: Making the New Normal Work for You

Lots of Excellent Advice for Workers and Companies Audiobook Review: This author has written a book based on her expertise about working from home, especially relevant now during the new normal that we've all been facing in 2020. The bulk of the book is for managers and other leaders within a company. However, the first part of the book would be helpful for any employee or at-home entrepreneur. In that first section, she talks about how to define your workspace and make effective presentations, even if you're doing them on Zoom or other digital platforms. Further chapters look at how a remote workforce can be managed effectively. She even touches briefly on how to make virtual events meaningful for attendees and perhaps even more profitable for those who run them. One final chapter is about job-seeking during this very different time. After so much discussion geared toward how to handle this at an organizational or team level, it seems strange to switch back to talking about individuals. Perhaps this chapter could have been placed earlier between the sections about how to make this work on an individual level and at a company level. Still, all in all, this book is chock-full of information that could be helpful in negotiating the new norm. I received a free copy of this book, but that did not affect my review.
