"Of all the changes that COVID-19 has demanded, the rise of remote working is among the most likely to stick long term. This excellent book gives an accessible yet thoroughly research-based account of the key issues – from the historical development of remote working, to the forms it takes (including hybrid working) and the implications for people management and quality of working life". Jonny Gifford, Senior Advisor for Organisational Behaviour, Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development"The author’s 25 years of seminal scholarship on homeworking gives credibility and authority to his reflections on the nature of remote working in the post-pandemic era. This is a concise and essential book for researchers, employers and remote-working employees". Brendan Burchell, Professor of Sociology, University of Cambridge, UK"This book offers an excellent resource for those researching or interested in learning more about remote and hybrid working. With relevance to academics, practitioners, policy-makers and students, this book provides important insights into historical and current trends, impacts for employees and employers, and the potential future of work. In the spirit of hybrid working don’t just buy one copy of this book, buy two, one for when you are working at the office and one for when you are working at home!" Dan Wheatley, Reader in Business and Labour Economics, University of Birmingham, UK"This is an excellent exposition of the history, present and future of remote working based on robust research evidence. A must read for anyone interested in how the changing location of work affects our lives". Ying Zhou, Professor of Human Resource Management, University of Surrey, UK
