Hi all,

Lot's of news about remote workforce these days. Of our 9 permanent desks, 6 are members who work for companies out of area and most of those desks are paid for by their company.

Wondering if anyone has started a database of companies who encourage remote work and all the details? It's a huge part of our revenue and some of the most profitable.

In community,

Brad

Hi Brad,

That's awesome. I am a huge proponent of remote and flexible work. These opportunities are mainly listed as part of job sites like indeed, etc. I have seen https://remote.co/ and similar remote work specific sites but again they are just job boards. Also, there are people putting together random "What are the best companies to work remotely for?" but at this point I don't see any public databases per say that could be used to reach out to. I do believe they exist but more of part of some company's lead generation plan. I have been discussing this as well with a few different people but will surely reach out if I come across anything more complete.

Brad -- I love this idea!!! I have not heard of such a data base, BUT what I was thinking a "hack" might be, to go to indeed or glassdoor enter the radius of 200 miles or whatever, and use the term remote in the keyword search!! That at least might give you a place to start!! 

Thank you for sharing the idea though!! 

Kindly, Crystal

Great idea - remote work is probably one of the fastest growing contributors to our membership overall, as well as the diversity of our membership (more people working in more kinds of jobs that happen to be remote!)

https://weworkremotely.com is another job board (and totally unrelated to the McCoworking chain), but they also have a nice set of resources including a remote companies list (based on who is posting jobs), and even things like a job description template for remote positions. 

A few other popular resources I've found, again, mostly job boards, include:

There are a few companies like Buffer, Zapier, and Invision who are all "remote first" companies publish experience and expertise on helping build remote teams. This is an area that I feel strongly that coworking operators could help with, since many companies do not have the internal resources to build healthy remote teams and perhaps part of the playbook can become supporting remote workers and their employers in creating sustainable remote positions. 

Lots to explore here, I love this conversation!
