Karl sat down with Community Leaders Amy Babinchak and Joshua Liberman to talk about remote work.

Amy runs Harbor Computer Services, which always runs a remote operation. They invite all employees in for a weekly meeting, but the rest of the time, they all work remotely. Josh has personally worked remotely for years, but runs an IT consulting company that is build around in-office work.

We asked them to give their advice about hiring, culture, productivity, security, and more.

In addition to their individual experiences, Amy and Josh give some great tips on trying to hire and manage remote workers. And they gives us some speculation about changes to client offices going forward.

All in all, a good conversation.
