(New York: Knopf/Penguin Random House, 2021).
Named a “book to read” by Fortune magazine, this book explores not only the future of where we work, but how we work. “Based on groundbreaking reporting and interviews with workers and managers around the world, Out of Office illuminates the key values and questions that should be driving this conversation: trust, fairness, flexibility, inclusive workplaces, equity, and work-life balance,” the publisher notes. “Above all, they argue that companies need to listen to their employees – and that this will promote, rather than impede, productivity and profitability.” Warzel writes the newsletter “Galaxy Brain” for The Atlantic, where he is a contributing writer.
