About Us

Our Story

Our Mission

WorkForceRemote.org provides professional development through online certifications for professionals, leaders, and organizations to optimize the remote work experience.

Our Vision

To become a leading professional development organization and community of inquiry inspiring remote workers from various fields to go remote and work on.

Our Inspiration

Our inspiration for WorkplaceRemote.org emerged from our experiences and observations of remote work over the last few decades. We noticed that the professionalism and quality of service varies greatly within and among organizations. With no standard definition of remote quality workers seem to have no expectations and no accountability. Without codified workplace standards, supervisors have no way to fairly measure remote quality. To help individuals and organizations achieve the potential of remote work, we started WorkForceRemote.org.

Our Process

WorkForceRemote.org offers remote workplaces a two-step improvement plan. The first step is to measure quality against research-based WFR Standards. WFR standards align with the PACE model that addresses Productivity, Access, Communication, and Engagement in remote work environments. The WFR standards provide goals and criteria by which improvement can be measured.    

The second element of our improvement plan focuses on professional development. To help organizations leverage the advantages of standardization, WorkforceRemote.org provides employees and supervisors self-paced, online training. With a focus on serving the customer (internal and external), user-friendly courses give learners practical strategies for making immediate improvements in their approach to remote work. 

Our Passion

We are passionate about helping organizations proactively adapt their remote work environments for success. We help organizations set high expectations for remote quality, and then support their employees in fulfilling those expectations. WorkforceRemote.org is leading the next wave of remote work environments, and we invite you to ride the wave with us.  

Our Founders

WorkForceRemote.org was created by seasoned professionals with diverse backgrounds with one commonality – a passion for inspiring and helping others  realize the potential of working remote.
