Are Remote Workers Happier Than Office Employees?
Here are some interesting insights about remote employees vs. office employees. I know many positions within a dealership don't have the option of remote work, but I'm curious about those who do have the option to work from home. I personally feel I am more productive when I work from home, but there are often conflicting ideas of creating a fun office culture, working with teams and having in person meetings, etc. What are your thoughts?

IME Being able to get together in the office for face-to-face meetings is invaluable, but people want to have freedom to work when/where they want.
Letting people work from home or at a coffee shop really comes down to trusting them to work wherever they are when they have work to do.
This seems to happen when employers put value on the result of work, not the task of "working." Unfortunately, for dealers the task of work is the value: you can't exactly have a tech take a car back to the shop in their garage for two days to rebuild the engine.

Jim, I totally agree! For many dealership positions it would be impossible for them to work from home. But for other positions it would be a lot simpler. Thanks for your thoughts!

I have worked from home since 2011 and it has been amazing. I still have face to face meetings via hangouts and we have company meetings in person. We meet directly with the owner of the company daily, which gives us the opportunity to obtain guidance and stay accountable. It has been my experience that if you find the right people, are a great manager that motivates your team to succeed, it is a much better environment, retention is very high and staff is happier.
