Podcasts about telecommuters

We explored the challenges and potential solutions for building trust, inclusion, and collaboration in tech-hybrid or remote teams. A focus on how technology supports transparent communication and fosters connections in tech-enabled environments related to socio-technical teams. (Tech-hybrid teams blend humans and robotics, AI, or other modern technology as team members.)  In this Episode: Dr. Emi Baressi, Tom Bradshaw, special guests Keith and Daniel Edwards from the Houston RobotLab, Dr. Matt Lampe, Alexander Abney-King, Nic Krueger, Rich Cruz, Dr. Martha Grajdek    Visit us https://www.seboc.com/ Follow us on LinkedIn: https://bit.ly/sebocLI Join an open-mic event: https://www.seboc.com/events   References: Arslan, A., Cooper, C., Khan, Z., Golgeci, I., & Ali, I.

Mark LaVoie lives in Newton, N.H., in an old farmhouse that he’s slowly restoring. Pre-pandemic, he commuted into Boston three or four days a week for a job at a public relations firm. He was diligent about keeping track of the days he worked from home because Massachusetts allows commuters like him to deduct those days from their income tax obligations. Or, at least it used to.

Social distancing orders in light of the coronavirus pandemic have forced companies to send workers home and have them work remotely. The trend might continue. According to a Gartner survey of 317 finance executives on March 30, 3 out of 4 chief finance officers and finance leaders are considering moving at least 5% of their on-site workforce to remote positions permanently after the pandemic. In addition, many people have reported an increase in quality of life and a shift in the work-life balance after having worked from home for a while. But all of this can raise tax issues for you that could come back to haunt you. That’s why in this episode of the podcast I wanted to talk about those issues, so that if you’d like to make your kitchen, your spare bedroom, or your beach house  your permanent office, you will know what it might mean for your taxes. In this episode you will learn: What bordering states have reciprocal tax agreements How being taxed by two states can work for or against you The good and bad news about home office deductions

In this Real Estate News Brief for the week ending March 7th, 2020... we have an emergency interest rate cut, all-time low mortgage rates, and a virus-inspired surge in real estate investing.   We begin with economic news from this past week, and a quarter percent rate cut by the Fed. The central bank cut rates to help protect the economy from the effects of the coronavirus. The overnight lending rate is now from 1 to 1.25%. Fed Chief Jerome Powell offered reassurance that the U.S. economy is still strong, but he says the spread of the virus will likely affect economic growth. But, he says “we will get to the other side” and “return to solid growth and a solid labor market as well.”   www.NewsForInvestors.com

InSecurity Podcast: Why is Cylance entering the consumer market? What if I told you that 67% of workers use their own personal devices while at work 37% of US workers telecommute What if you asked me “why should I care?” Cloud-based solutions (Office365, DropBox, Box, Trello, Atlassian, etc) allow employees to access corporate assets from personal devices Employees can connect USB thumb drives to personal devices infected with malware, then plug them into a company device Employees can access corporate email on personal devices Telecommuters can VPN into work from a personal device Cached credentials from employees logging into company assets from a personal device could be stolen by malware Web-cam enabling malware on a personal device could spy on and compromise employees The virtual borders of a Corporate network are no longer defined by the corporate firewall. With the proliferation of work and personal devices at home, the distinction between the corporate network and employee’s home networks have become blurred. CISOs and their Security Teams have a difficult time controlling their security risk and exposure from cybersecurity threats originating from employee’s homes. Think you’ve got the kind of security solution in place you need to protect your network from not just the bad guys, but hard-working employees? In this episode of the InSecurity Podcast, Hiep Dang and Edward Preston join Matt Stephenson to introduce Cylance’s new baby… Cylance Smart Antivirus. Hiep and Edward will explain how Cylance is bringing their groundbreaking, enterprise security solutions to the home user.

His journey has given Hiep a spectrum of experiences from burgeoning startups to Fortune 500 companies while solving deep technical to abstract business problems. Hiep’s sweet spot is product management because it is at the intersection of product strategy and technical execution. During the day, he geeks out on building innovative security products and at night Hiep teaches Kung Fu. About Edward Preston Edward Preston (@eptrader) has an eclectic professional background that stretches from the trading floors of Wall Street to data centers worldwide.

It's time to step away from the keyboard and move your body.Time can get away from you if you work from home. You may do a lot more sitting than someone who has to leave the house to go to work.While it may seem hard to believe, the hardest thing to do when you work from home is stopping work. It's really easy to continue to slave away at your computer. Tips for TelecommutersGet yourself on a schedule so your day has a clear beginning and end. Change your pajamas and brush your teeth or whatever you need to do to define your day. Assign your estimated commute time to fitness. If it would take you 30 minutes to drive to work, then spend that time working out. Take activity breaks between work tasks. Hop on your treadmill, do a few lunges, stretch. Small increments of activity add up. Get up every 45 to 60 minutes. Stretch the muscles that haven't been used while you were sitting. Consider getting a standing desk. Sitting becomes stressful for your body. Wearable technology makes you aware of how much you're moving. It's recommended to get to 10,000 steps per day for health benefits. Your smart phone may have a pedometer function. Develop good working posture. Your elbows should be at 40 degrees when you're typing. Your screen should be at eye level. This will reduce the wear and tear on your body. Sitting on a fitness ball all day may exacerbate an issue you may not know you have. Stretch everything that is contracted when you're sitting. Work your hip flexors with both hands on your back pockets, push your hips forward, lean back and say “aaaaahhh.” Stretch your chest by clasping your hands behind your back and raising your arms up. Encourage your colleagues on phone meetings to take stretch breaks. Create a culture for body care. Listen in as Grace DeSimone joins Melanie Cole, MS, to share tips for work-from-home fitness.

37% of Americans telecommute at least part of the time. An actual telecommuter claim: Mary worked from home selling window treatments, upholstery, bedding and pillows. She essentially worked out of her van and was required to keep current samples with her when going to appointments. She stored excess items in her garage, at her employer’s request. This was…

As the economy flirts with a double-dip recession and cost-conscious companies hesitate to re-hire the workplace for many Americans has shifted away from crowded offices to a new world of solitary work. From freelancers to telecommuters to laid-off workers making do with temporary jobs an increasing number of Americans are reporting to work each day from a corner of their home a space in the garage or even a table at the local coffee shop. For some it's a dream come true. But the transition isn't smooth for everyone. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Who are the workers you don't see everyday? Telecommuters, sales reps, field technicians and anyone we don't see around the office or plant are just a few examples. Even companies that have great safety programs might not have effective programs...
