The honeymoon is over: Whether by choice, necessity, or both, the global workforce has shifted to working from home. Today, employees, entrepreneurs and organizations are looking for new solutions – and that journey starts at home. The world has changed, and we are all shift workers now: shifting our priorities and our commutes and our lives in ways no one could have imagined. Companies were forced to go completely remote overnight. Employees have to decide what working from home really means – with unexpected obligations, impossible scheduling and transformed relationships thrown into the mix. Now, Wiley introduces Working from Home, by Author and Salesforce Executive Karen Mangia, that defines the category, and provides the guidance that we all need when working from home. Individuals and businesses have faced unprecedented challenges this year. So many companies were forced to go completely remote overnight and employees began to navigate what working from home full-time looked like for them.

As organizations have adjusted to functioning remotely, some companies have taken steps to do away with in-person working completely. Google and Twitter are two examples of companies moving toward a more permanent work-from-home model.   Because working from home works – but not in the way you might think. Burnout, disconnection, isolation – these challenges (and more) are what companies are up against. Fortunately, this book provides clear-headed advice in a way that’s fresh, authentic…and actionable.

With continued uncertainty in the world, one thing has become clear:  traditional office jobs as we knew them have been completely transformed.  Working from home is the “new normal” for many.  We can’t afford to waste more time trying to figure out what productivity, efficiency and growth looks like inside this massive world shift.  Working from Home serves as the guidebook that can help workers to thrive and organizations to prosper: because there are still opportunities all around us. We just need to know where to look. Today, that search begins at home, as we explore new ways to balance home boundaries, careers, communication and home schooling in this brave new world.  Here’s the path forward, with guidance from business leaders and organizations (like Twitter and others) that can help readers to navigate the new normal.

Working from Home outlines clear strategies for productivity, collaboration and career impact. For employees at every level learning how to thrive in this new environment, the book shares ways to adapt to this new style of work. Mangia shares how to:

• Build the future of work in any kind of space: ideas for your home office that fit anywhere 
• Create personalized time management routines designed specifically for remote productivity, impact, and balance—even while wearing your sweatpants
