Making the Cloud Work for Your Business

Published in: https://www.entrepreneur.com/

Add competencies. The cloud may offer a competency that you don't have: tax-preparation algorithms embedded in an online tax service; information on flight schedules, prices and expected delays; stock-market data; and algorithms for finding matches between people and movies, and between people and people.
Build conversations, connections and communities. A series of communications between two participants is a conversation. Conversations create persistent connections. Conversations and connections among those with shared interests, values and goals create communities. Communities are no longer based solely on geography: Where you were born once defined who you were. Now global networks help forge bonds between geographically disparate people....

The 10 best (and real) work-at-home jobs

Published in: http://www.bankrate.com

        Searching for jobs that you can do from home used to be a matter of scanning the Sunday classifieds for offers to get rich quick by stuffing envelopes.
        Now, exposure to at-home employment opportunities has multiplied, and a wide variety of job ads are just a click away. But so are the scams. In 2007, when Rat Race Rebellion -- a company that helps people find home-based work -- began tracking at-home jobs, there were 30 scams for every legitimate opportunity. Now, with 4,500 to 5,000 work-at-home job ads screened weekly, the website finds 60 phonies for every 1 that's for real, says Christine Durst, co-founder and principal of Staffcentrix LLC, the company that owns and manages RatRaceRebellion.com.

5 Essential Work from Home Job Skills

Published in: http://blog.edx.org

        “Choose a job you love and you will never have to work a day in your life.”
        When Confucius said that, it was 551-479 BC and transportation costs were probably the last thing on his mind. In the pursuit of finding the perfect job, the length of the commute or your ability to pick up and move can be a real barrier. While it’s possible to learn new skills to grow your career, you can’t always move yourself or your whole family across the country or around the world. Advanced internet conferencing technology as well as tools like Skype and HipChat are making it easier than ever to work from home and, as an overall trend, telecommuting is on the rise. A study done by Global Workplace Analytics reported that, for workers that are not self-employed, telecommuting increased by approximately 103% from 2005 to 2014. Two years down the line, the trend continues. According to a recent telecommuting research study done by PGi, a multinational corporation that provides conferencing and collaborating solutions, up to 79% of respondents telecommuted at least one day per week.
        There are a few key skills every potential telecommuter needs in order to master the art. We’ve listed five essential work from home skills below and paired them with online courses to help you have a successful and rewarding work from home experience.

1. Marketing Skills
2. Communication Skills
3. Leadership Skills

Hiring Remote Workers? Look For These 5 Qualities

Published in: https://www.15five.com

Great workers don’t necessarily make for great remote workers. Knowing how to manage your time and stay accountable completely independent of an office or manager close-by, are vital skills that employees in an office don’t necessarily have to master. Before hiring a remote worker who will be operating from a distance, you need to look closely at their communication skills, work ethic, and time management skills. In addition to the skills they need to complete their job, these soft skills will help ensure timely deliverables from a responsive remote worker you don’t feel like you’re always “looking” for.
Here are a few tips on hiring a great remote employee:
1. Observe & Learn
2. Ask the Right Interview Questions
3. Give Candidates a Test Project

How To Work From Home Like You Mean It

Published in: http://www.fastcompany.com

Working from home requires a new mindset and a good system, not just a nicer pair of pants (but put those on, too).

        Despite all the stories you’ve heard, the hardest part of working from home isn’t putting on pants every day. I’ve been working from home, a few different homes, since late 2007. And the biggest thing I've learned during those four years is that working from home doesn’t have to change how you get work done, but it does change nearly everything else about your gig. When there are hard, regular deadlines and a constant flow of work, it is just like being at an office—with the added advantage that nobody else is there to interrupt my train of thought with an impromptu visit. And then there were times when I nearly broke down and told the boss the truth about why that weeklong project was in such sad shape: Because just when I need to focus it becomes clear that there are a lot of interesting links to look at on the Internet. Like this one. I'm far from the only person to have confronted the joys and challenges of telecommuting. So I asked a few productive work-from-homers what they would do differentl , if they could go back in time and reboot their office. Here’s a bit of home-working hindsight that might help you out the next time you’re going to work from home, whether it's for a day or a career.

        Look the Part, Be the Part
        It’s one of far too many great quotes from Proposition Joe in The Wire, and great advice for getting more done at home. Dressing for work and "arriving" on time, eating lunch on a rigid schedule, shaving, brushing, and so on seems pointless at first. But not doing these basic preparations is the start of a steep, Teflon-coated slope to all kinds of other transgressions. If you’re not dressed well enough to greet the UPS delivery person, you’re giving yourself license to hide. If you’re hiding, then you imagine nobody can see Netflix open on your second monitor. On and on it goes, until you spend a two-hour lunch watching Portlandia on your couch with your iPad, grabbing your way through a bag of kettle chips. After that you'll try and fake your way through an afternoon of self-loathing busywork. It’s not clever psychological trickery. It’s having respect for the work you do, wherever you do it. John Herrman, tech writer and assistant editor at Popular Mechanics, suggested in a Twitter chat that it's almost like treating your working self's worst tendencies like a prisoner of war, or maybe someone suffering from grief: Keeping up rituals, routines, and appearances is how you train yourself to do your work when you're supposed to, and set aside the fun stuff for after hours.

Got Remote Workers? 8 Key Points to Include in Your Remote Work Policy

Published in : http://www.businessinsider.com

       Win-win. That’s how many small businesses describe having all or some staff working remotely.
Apart from reaping tangible benefits like lower operating costs (from saving on things like rent and utilities), companies usually notice improved staff morale and productivity because of more flexible work schedules, and for some, relief from traffic-congested commutes.
        But to keep this working arrangement healthy, it’s necessary to have a remote work policy. This policy isn’t meant to take away the flexibility inherent in working remotely, but provides guidelines and boundaries that maintain order and allow staff to function at their best.
        Here are eight points that should be included in your business’ remote work policy.
1) Office rules apply
2) Equipment
3) Insurance
4) Workers’ Comp
5) Reimbursable Expenses
6) Data Security
7) Tax Deduction
8) Termination

Are Remote Workers Happier And More Productive? New Survey Offers Answers

Published in: http://www.forbes.com/

Are remote workers more satisfied with their situations, or more isolated and discontented?

Do they feel more valued — or less? Are they more productive — or not?

With remote working arrangements becoming increasingly common, these are some of the valuable management questions addressed in a new survey, “What Leaders Need To Know About Remote Workers” from TINYpulse, an employee engagement firm. (Full disclosure: I’m quoted in the survey report as a management expert, but I had no influence on the report’s content and have no contractual or financial connection to TINYpulse.) Regarding logistics, the survey included 509 full-time remote U.S. employees, and compared their responses to benchmarks calculated from “over 200,000 employees across all work arrangements.” What were the survey’s key findings? Here are four of them.
Remote workers are happier: In the aggregate, according to the survey, on a 1 to 10 scale (in answer to the question, “How happy are you at work?”) remote workers scored 8.10, compared to all workers’ score of 7.42. Not surprisingly, employees score consistently higher when they work remotely because they “enjoy the freedom and flexibility” than when “they are required to work remotely by their job.”

5 Workforce Stats That Prove You’re a Remote Worker, Too

Published in: http://blog.socialcast.com

Just about everyone is a remote worker these days thanks to innovations in technology. You’re probably still commuting to the office, but not every day. Most companies today offer at least some flexibility to work outside the office, reported FlexJobs. Interest in telecommuting isn’t the only thing fueling mobile work, though. Even companies that don’t allow flexible work at all are increasingly working apart in other ways: while traveling, on their sick days, after business hours, etc.

Will Half Of People Be Working Remotely By 2020?

Published in: http://www.fastcompany.com/

Remote work seems to be the wave of the future. A recent survey of business leaders at the Global Leadership Summit in London found that 34% said more than half their company’s full-time workforce would be working remotely by 2020. A full 25% said more than three-quarters would not work in a traditional office by 2020, which is not some far off, futuristic era.

The Rise of the Remote Worker, or How to Work from Home Without Getting Fired

Published in: http://business.time.com

Is heading to the office necessary anymore? According to a Cisco study, 70% of college students and young professionals say no. Increasingly, and perhaps surprisingly, employers seem to agree. Studies show that 45% of the U.S. workforce now has a job thats suitable for full-time or part-time telecommuting. But even as working from home becomes more acceptable and the rigid command and control office model seems outdated, remote workers remain worried that they may be viewed as slackers, and that the lack of face time with the boss can hurt their careers.

Here are some tips:
1. Get Organized
2. Check In with Your Manager Frequently
3. Push Yourself to Network
4. Take Breaks and Get Fresh Air
5. Work in a Productive Space
6. Use Collaboration Tools
7. Respond to E-Mails Quickly

What Remote Workers Need to Know About Career Development

Published in: http://www.businessnewsdaily.com/

A few short years ago, a widely covered study by the MIT Sloan Management Review journal claimed that workers who telecommuted were less likely to receive promotions, big raises or good performance reviews than those who work in the office. This discrepancy was no reflection on how dedicated a person was to his or her job, the study found: Remote employees simply didn't have the same "passive face time" as their in-office colleagues, and leaders evaluated workers differently based on whether they were seen in the workplace.
While companies are shifting away from the "out of sight, out of mind" mentality, the fact remains that, unlike office workers, telecommuters can't fake productivity by sitting in a cubicle looking busy — and they may need to work a bit harder to make an impression with their bosses.

Working Remotely Makes Employees Happier and More Productive

Published in: http://www.lever.co

Technology has changed the way we work. According to Gallup, 37% of of U.S. workers say they have telecommuted, a dramatic increase from the just 9% who reported the same back in 1995. And, as the number of remote workers increases, a new study from TinyPulse finds that employee reports of job happiness and productivity are rising as well. While there are many factors to consider when assembling your workforce, the trend in remote work has three critical advantages for small businesses:

1. Find talent anywhere in the world. No longer limited by geographic location, small businesses can theoretically source top talent from around the world, without having to worry about relocating employees to a company headquarters.

2. Avoid top-tier salaries required by candidates in big cities. When your talent pool consists of anyone with an internet connection, it’s likely you’ll find a candidate with salary requirements in line with your small business budget.

3. Boost productivity. Remote work makes it possible for the employee to choose the environment they prefer working in. This might explain why remote workers report they’re substantially more productive than their in-office counterparts.

6 Reasons Why You Should Hire Remote Workers and How to Find Them

Published in: http://www.business.com

It’s common for companies to have at least one employee who works remotely. After all, communication with people from all over the world has never been easier. And many employers are embracing the unique benefits of hiring remote workers. Of course, hiring remotely does have its own set of difficulties. Maintaining clear communication can be difficult when the members of your team aren’t all in the same office. Training new remote employees may also present its own set of challenges. You will also potentially have to accommodate different times zones and public holidays. As an employer, you will also be trusting in your remote workers to use their time productively, without your direct supervision. But the benefits of hiring remote employees can prove to far outweigh the difficulties, depending on the type of business you run. If your company is still in startup stages, hiring remote employees can be especially beneficial, as it can cut costs and broaden your network across the world. My company recently hired a remote worker for my team and it has been working out very well for us. Our company is based in Toronto, Canada and he lives in Kansas City, USA. There is a minor one hour time difference between us, not a big enough difference to cause conflict. But even if the time difference were bigger, I’m confident that he would still be a good hire because he is passionate about his work, is highly productive, and is eager to maintain daily communications with the other members of our team. Because of that, we trust him to be productive and to be a contributing, involved member of the team despite not physically being in the office with us.

Here are six reasons why it’s good to hire remote workers.

1. Your Talent Doesn’t Have to Be Location-Dependent
2. You Will Attract Driven Self-Starters
3. You Will Have a Team With Different Perspectives
4. You Can Have People Working in Different Time Zones
5. It Can Be Cost Effective for the Employer and the Employees
6. Workers Can Find Spaces Where They Are More Productive

7 Things to Consider When Transitioning to a Remote Work Environment

Published in: http://qualigence.com

As the issue of work-life balance continues to grow in popularity, more employers are making the transition to remote work and alternative schedules. This is partly due to the fact that some employers see the same productivity from remote employees as in-office employees. Furthermore, allowing work from remote locations opens up the doors to a larger talent pool. As for the employees themselves, transitioning to home-based employment presents a few challenges. Employers and employees must take a few basic steps in order to allow for success at home:

1. Coordination
2. Timing
3. Diversity
4. Consider the Team
5. Recognize Differing Opinions
6. Consider the Time
7. Know Your Colleagues

5 Remote Work Myths Debunked

published in: http://www.huffingtonpost.com

It’s no secret that remote work is on the rise, and now with companies big and small approving flexible work options, many of us are realizing that our jobs don’t necessarily determine our locations — and not only that, but we can actually choose where we want to live without sacrificing our careers. If you’re looking to ditch your daily commute, travel the world, or move somewhere with a lower cost of living, then a location-independent lifestyle might be for you. Before you make the step, it’s important to get familiar with these remote work myths:

Myth #1: Working from home is an easy way to make money.
Myth #2: Applying for a remote job is the same as applying for a traditional job.
Myth #3: It’s tougher for remote employees to get promoted.
Myth #4: Your work hours need to overlap with the rest of the team.
Myth #5: Remote work is bleak and lonely.

How does cloud computing work?

Published in: http://www.thoughtsoncloud.com/

The first building block is the infrastructure where the cloud will be implemented. Some people make the assumption that environment should be virtualized, but as cloud is a way to request resources in an on-demand way and if you have solutions to provide on bare metal, then why not? The infrastructure will support the different types of cloud (IaaS, PaaS, SaaS, BPaaS).
To be able to provide these services you will need Operating System Services (OSS), which will be in charge of deploying the requested service, and Business System Services (BSS), mainly used to validate the request and create the invoice for the requested services. Any metrics could be used to create the invoice (for example, number of users, number of CPUs, memory, usage hours/month). It is very flexible and depends on the service provider.
