Tired of feeling isolated or micromanaged while working from home? Discover how to thrive in remote work environments with insights from workplace psychologist Craig Knight.
In this revealing episode, Craig debunks common remote work myths and shares the three critical elements that make any work environment successful: Autonomy, Resource, and Trust (ART).
The Real History of Remote Work
Remote work isn’t new—it’s one of humanity’s oldest work models! Craig explains how COVID became “a great emancipator,” democratizing the freedom to work from anywhere that was previously reserved for executives.
Why Managers Want You Back in the Office
Learn the uncomfortable truth about why some leaders push for return-to-office mandates (hint: it’s more about control than productivity). Craig exposes the toxic surveillance tactics some companies use to monitor remote workers and how these practices destroy trust.
Finding Your Remote Work Sweet Spot
Whether you’re fully remote, hybrid, or considering a work-from-home position, Craig provides practical guidance on:
- Creating meaningful social connections while working remotely
- Avoiding isolation and maintaining work-life boundaries
- Evaluating potential employers based on their remote work policies
- Understanding what truly drives performance (happiness, not productivity metrics!)
