Working in Slippers: Virtual Companies and the New Normal

In Working in Slippers: Virtual Companies and the New Normal, Ken Taylor argues that fully remote companies are in fact a permanent feature of the business world, offering a significant strategic and cost advantage as leaders strengthen and grow their organizations. However, as with other major changes in how business is done, a remote environment calls for new approaches, techniques, culture, technology, and above all, a different perspective towards every company’s most important resource: its staff.

With practical examples and stories from his experience growing a startup that has never, ever had a physical office, Mr. Taylor sheds light on how remote work can make a company more profitable, successful, productive, and competitive while improving quality of life for employees and reducing turnover.

The book explores the breadth and depth of remote work, from high-level strategy and philosophy to the nuts and bolts of operations and tech tool stack options.
