Remote Work Round-Up – June 9, 2017

Remote Work Round-Up – June 9, 2017

Though tech giants such as IBM and HPE have recently come forward to question the benefits of working remotely and call all employees back to the IRL office, other corporations are heading in the opposite direction, embracing flexible schedules for their employees.


The Wall Street Journal showcased Dell this week, in a piece called "Why Remote Work Can't Be Stopped". Writer Christopher Mims reports that while only 17% of Dell's workforce is authorized to work outside of the office, 58% noted that they work remotely at least one day a week. Dell's response: Great!

Steve Price, chief human resources officer at Dell, was pleased by this development. Dell set a goal in 2013 to have half of their employees working from wherever they're most productive by 2020. Looks like they've made it, and well ahead of schedule.

What is a DEI hire — and is it a fair term?

As workplaces evolve, the term “DEI hire” has become a point of contention. For some, it represents a commitment to diversity and inclusion; for others, it raises concerns about tokenism and fairness.

This debate has recently intensified as broader conversations around diversity, equity, and inclusion face growing scrutiny. Following a 2023 U.S. Supreme Court ruling that struck down race-conscious college admissions, legal and political challenges to DEI initiatives surged. Critics argue that these measures unfairly disadvantage historically dominant groups (think White Americans or those who’ve faced fewer systemic barriers), while supporters maintain that DEI is essential for creating equitable opportunities.

Picture two employees, let’s call them Taylor and Reese. Taylor is energetic, always up for a meeting or a quick call, and happy to work in a team. In fact, the larger the team, the happier she is. She's chatty, fun, spontaneous, and charismatic.

Reese is also very talented, but he’s more reserved. He avoids spontaneous meetings and dreads unexpected calls. After work, you won’t find Reese headed to drinks with coworkers, and at least at work, some would say Reese keeps to himself. While Taylor likes to lead presentations, Reese prefers to listen and analyze.

Building a stellar onboarding checklist

Onboarding is more than simply an HR task; it’s the first major step in preparing new employees for long-term success.
