We are excited to share that our CEO, Anthony Buonaspina, was recently featured in an article by Newsday, where he provided insightful commentary on the ongoing debate surrounding work models—whether fully in-person, hybrid, or fully remote. As many companies, including tech giants like Amazon, shift their work policies to require more in-office days, Buonaspina has taken a different stance. He emphasized the advantages of maintaining a remote-first work environment at LI Tech Advisors.
The article, written by Victor Ocasio, explores how companies in various industries are navigating the post-pandemic work landscape.
In the article, Buonaspina expressed his belief that remote work has significantly increased productivity for LI Tech Advisors.
"I’m getting more out of it now and even more out of my employees than when they were on site," he shared. LI Tech Advisors has embraced a remote model, and Buonaspina noted that this flexibility has allowed his team to work efficiently from various locations, with some employees residing out of state.
Despite the challenges that come with remote work, Buonaspina stressed the importance of maintaining regular communication to keep employees engaged.
"You have to have processes and procedures in place to make this work," he said. This includes daily video meetings, breakout sessions, and ongoing collaboration through communication platforms like Slack. These strategies have ensured that the team remains connected and aligned, despite the physical distance.
Buonaspina’s commitment to remote work stands out as many businesses reevaluate their work models. He believes remote teams can thrive with the right tools and communication practices. This approach has helped LI Tech Advisors adapt to the changing work environment and allowed the company to tap into a broader talent pool, unrestricted by geographic limitations.
At LI Tech Advisors, we are proud of the flexibility and efficiency our remote-first model provides, enabling us to continue delivering top-notch IT services to our clients.
