💼 Recognizing remote workers is not just a nice-to-have—it's essential! 𝑾𝑯𝒀? I've been a member of Upwork for almost 7 years providing the best virtual assistance possible. Drawing on my 30 years in the hospitality industry - I recently thought about what are people doing to recognize their virtual workers? Why is a good idea for virtual platforms like Upwork and Companies take a moment to say "thanks"? Thank you remote worker for your 7 years of service. Thank you for saving our company $65,000 dollars due to keeping an eye on expenses. You're amazing Mr. virtual assistant - we couldn't survive without you. I simple but powerful act of recognition will be a great way to retain top talent. What happens if you don't retain top talent? Do you have a line item on your monthly P&L for the cost of having a poor performing virtual assistance? What about a line item for the cost of employee turnover? No? Why? Here's why showing appreciation for your remote team is more important than ever: 👉Boosts Morale: Feeling valued encourages a positive work culture and reduces turnover. 👉Increases Engagement: Recognized employees are more engaged and motivated, which leads to higher productivity. 👉Fosters Innovation: Acknowledging achievements fosters a sense of belonging and encourages creativity. 👉Improves Retention: Regular recognition helps retain top talent by making employees feel valued. Don't let distance be a barrier to appreciation. Let's create a culture where every team member feels seen and valued. What creative ways have you found to recognize your remote team? 🤔👇 #Upwork #freelancer #workfromhome

The Curious Case of the 'Remote' Job Posting As a freelancer, I've noticed an intriguing trend: the rise of the "remote" job posting that isn't quite as remote as it seems. You know the ones - they lure you in with promises of work-from-home flexibility, only to reveal that "remote" actually means "remote, but only if you live in our company's hometown." It's a puzzling phenomenon, one that highlights the challenges companies face as they adapt to the new world of work. On one hand, these organizations deserve credit for embracing remote work at all. After all, not so long ago, the idea of working from anywhere was little more than a pipe dream for most of us. But on the other hand, restricting a "remote" position to a single, often small, geographic location seems to miss the point of remote work entirely. The beauty of remote work lies in its ability to tap into a global talent pool, to bring together the best and brightest minds regardless of where they happen to live. As we navigate this new frontier of work, it's important for companies to be clear about what they mean by "remote." Is it truly remote, meaning work can be done from anywhere? Or is it more of a "hybrid remote," with some location restrictions? Transparency on this front can save everyone - job seekers and employers alike - a lot of time and frustration. At the end of the day, the "remote, but not really" job posting is a sign of the times. It's a reflection of a business world in transition, one that's still figuring out how to balance the benefits of remote work with the realities of running a company. And while it may be frustrating for those on the job hunt, it's also an opportunity to start a conversation about what the future of work should look like. So here's to the "remote" job posting, in all its contradictory glory. May it continue to puzzle and amuse us until the day when "remote" truly means "work from anywhere."
