How is your book helping others?
Working in Slippers helps business leaders build companies that are more profitable and productive while improving employees' quality of life and reducing turnover. Ken Taylor helped scale a startup from three people to a multi-million dollar operation, all without ever renting office space. The book is a practical guide to making remote work actually work for companies, teams, and the people in them. Readers learn how to hire and manage top remote talent, create a high-performance remote culture, and put essential systems in place. Companies can cut office costs, hire the best people from anywhere, and reach talented candidates who can't commute, including caregivers and people with disabilities. It's a roadmap for rethinking how and where work gets done, so leaders can build a more competitive company that works for everyone, everywhere.
