Thanks for sharing Will Scott 👏🏻 If you’re happy with remote work, you’re not going back to the office... 1. We all want more time to do things that bring value and happiness to our lives.  2. We all want to feel connected to others socially. Freedom of Work Index https://lnkd.in/dziAauuU Freedom of work is more than a trend; it’s a movement that aligns with what we value the most — flexibility, autonomy, and the power to shape our professional journeys. At Remofirst, we have made it our mission to enable companies all over the world to employ the best talent, wherever they may be.

It takes ONE decision to take control of your commuting costs. We often don’t realize how much we’re spending every day just to get to the office. But once you break it down, the numbers can be surprising. IT CAN BE YOU. You just need to take the first step and track those costs. JUST DO IT. I’ve watched people completely shift their spending habits—by calculating their fuel use, choosing alternative transportation, or even cutting down on commute days. People focus on what matters to them. Let’s figure out the real cost of your commute, and how you can start saving today! #CommutingCosts #DailyCommute #PersonalFinance #BudgetingTips #FuelEfficiency #TransportationExpenses #CostSaving #FinancialAwareness #MoneyManagement

One major problem is that "staff strength" (that is how many employees you have regardless of redundancies) is a major sign of success; though this is not necessarily accurate for many industries. Ok maybe you have 10,000 employees, but half of them are not necessary and are simply helping a hiring manager or department manager use up their budget so it doesn't get reduce for the following financial year. In the case of Swiggy and Zomato this has been a major issue for years. Salaries are very good but the quality of the teams vary widely. This creates "competition" that is kind of artificial and spurs fear in employees who end up being job-scared working themselves to the bone. Commute times are very long in India for all types of staff. I recall having a high-level director in food-retail industry that commutes almost 80 km per day in his own vehicle so he give his family nice housing, some tranquility and amenities not available or attainable in central Mumbai despite his high-performance and seniority. Unfortunately, public transport is still in the building phase in most major cities in India so getting to and from work is a job in itself. Worse, these huge companies who have a lot of cash and are profitable refuse to invest in their employees by chipping in with their tech-park neighbors or the localities and public works to build those better roads, create more access points to what public transportation there is, and at least make a little tiny bit less difficult to get to and from work. People have to make huge sacrifices to their health and family-life because of unscrupulous management plus some colleague willing to do the same thing who produces almost nothing with less experience and no proven results. The message is you are replaceable and then someone else just like you picks up the slack; not necessarily the person who is replacing you. It's nuts. #hr #humanresources #people #training #productivity #family #time #cost #management #business #competition #transportation #bus #train #rail #traffic #infrastructure #banks #tech #fintech #delhi #mumbai #bangalore #gurgaon #hyderabad #karnataka #maharashtra #ncr #talent Manyata Developers Pvt.

5 Day Work Week is Actually 9 Hour Work Day. Those in support staff like peons and guards have it worst because they can only afford to live 1 hour away and more. If you have 2 hours of Commute (coming and going), 9 Hours of Work, 8 Hours of Sleep, 1 Hour of Eating/Chewing, 1 Hour of Bath and other cleaning, You only have 3 hours of life. This is stressful for any family with kids. These long days for 5 days a week and 6th would be to cool off really, there are many household trappings that this level, you don't order things from apps and they appear due to premium. Now only one day off but you know it is tomorrow morning you have to go to office. You can feel the pull even on the off day. Life is harsh. I am thinking about HRs and CEOs who write JDs to work from Delhi. It has to be ignorance and trappings that keep them there and compel others to be there too (like home loans, other customers that are there, good schools and hospitals). Some do it for real reasons like very confidential things that need to happen in person (like national security). But here is the deal: cities don't grow due to population growth, couples on average have lesser number of kids than themselves. TFR is below replacement for cities ("Cities are child sinks" as someone said). Some want to escape from hometowns, some want to live where they can escape consequences by keep on shifting companies. Whatever maybe the reason, cities grow because new people come to it. I am not sure if things remain as they are, people would want to. NVIDIA is third biggest company in the world, fully remote in office work. Zoho is desi made startup but is remote native. We are only noting down what is happening. In 10 days monsoon will be there. Peons and Security Guards will walk on flooded streets to reach office, sometimes to fall in ditches and fall off from trains because they have to be on time. No one can have compassion. No one is allowed to have compassion. Remote work gives a way out for even executives to escape gas chambers called Indian Cities. Just a thought #RemoteWorkNationalism

So true! It is only leading health issues and less productivity.

With changing times, corporations need to mold their policies accordingly. Work from home is a brainchild of Covid-19 but it isn’t necessarily a bad thing. Today’s workforce majorly comprises of millenials and gen-z’s and as one myself we value comfort over anything else. Our productivity increases when we are in a familiar environment and are comfortable. It is important for companies to promote a hybrid mode of work environment.

IS YOUR COMPANY LOOKING FOR A BETTER ALTERNATIVE FOR A CLEAN COMMUTE STIPEND? Some employers now have a Clean Commute Stipend as part of their compensation.

To commute or not to commute? 💀💭 For many of us, this is a question we have had to answer at some point. Personally, I commute over 300 km daily to and from school, but thanks to a direct train connection 🚆 which takes only about 1:10h one way, so it's not as bad as it sounds. What's more, I can do all my school and personal stuff in the train, leaving me with more free time when I am home. But let's be real 😅, I'm quite looking forward to shortening the commute to 'mere' 10 kilometers soon. One can only handle waking up for 8 am lectures at 5:30 and missing out on the social stuff for so long... #commute #transportation #worklifebalance #lifeintrain #dsb

With weather as wild and windy as we’ve seen in the UK over the weekend, you can’t help but let your mind drift to thinking… What are my holiday plans for 2024?🏖️ Many of us are money motivated but sometimes, other factors are more important for example annual holiday allowance and work-life balance. From April 2023, employees will have the ability to make two flexible working requests annually from day one of their employment. Moreover, the Flexible Working Act requires employers to consult with employees prior to rejecting a flexible working request. Does your role seem out of line with your motivations? It’s always good to speak with Quants and Energy Traders around ideal roles, get in touch directly. #charleslevick #holidayallowance #employmentrelations #flexibleworking #flexibleworkingact #worklifebalance #newrole #careermotivations #careeraspirations #quant #quantitativefinance #quantitativetrading #trading #trader #portfoliomanager #powermarkets #energymarkets #energysector #gastrading #renewableenergy
