“In the first part of the book, Part 1, ​Getting Oriented for Remote Work​, you’re going to start out with the fundamentals. In Chapter 1, ​A Remote Future​, we’re going to explore the possibilities that remote work can offer for you both in your work life and your personal life. Then, in Chapter 2, ​Getting Set Up​, we’ll get hands-on by building your work space, both physical and mental. You’ll finish this chapter ready to get your routine and habits in order.” (EfctRmWrk 2022)

“We’ll then move on to the second part of the book, Part 2, ​Building Effective Remote Teams​. This is packed full of tools and techniques for how both you and your team can function effectively remotely. This begins with Chapter 3, ​Treat Everyone as Remote​, an important mantra that will be present throughout the whole book. With this in mind, we’ll explore the many facets of synchronous and asynchronous communication in Chapter 4, ​The Spectrum of Synchronousness​, so you know what to use and when. Then, using the previous two chapters, we’ll see how a typical day plays out in the office and see how that compares to successful—and unsuccessful—days spent remotely in Chapter 5, ​The Same but Different​.” (EfctRmWrk 2022)

“The key to remote communication is the production of documents, diagrams, designs, and video recordings. We’ll explore how you can use these to your advantage in Chapter 6, ​Artifacts for a Better Future​. Building up a library of these artifacts allows you to be prepared for Chapter 7, ​Onboarding and Orientation​, which needs careful consideration in the remote world. We’ll follow this by learning Chapter 8, ​Effective Communication Techniques​ for yourself and your team. Then we’ll finish this part of the book by exploring management. This covers both Chapter 9, ​Managing Yourself​ and Chapter 10, ​Managing Teams​ remotely. You’ll learn a whole host of ways in which you’ll need to adapt your style to be effective.” (EfctRmWrk 2022)

“The third part of the book considers the wider picture: Part 3, ​Creating a World-Class Remote Culture​. We’ll consider what factors make a company’s remote-working experience great in Chapter 11, ​The Remote Working Test​. You can apply these to your own company to see what needs improvement or use them if you are interviewing elsewhere. Then, we’ll consider Chapter 12, ​Creating a Handbook​, which can be the central repository of information for your department. In Chapter 13, ​Becoming Fully Remote​, we’ll explore what it means to make remote work the norm for workers rather than the exception, and what effect that has on culture and day-to-day life.” (EfctRmWrk 2022)

“We’ll conclude with two chapters focusing on our health and on society. First, we’ll focus inward in Chapter 14, ​The Hard Parts​. Remote working is not all roses; many experience isolation, burnout, and other mental-health issues. We’ll explore these so you can look out for yourself and others. Then we’ll conclude by taking a forward-thinking look at how we might be able to tackle some of our industry’s deep systemic problems in Chapter 15, ​The Path to Equality Is Remote​.” (EfctRmWrk 2022)
