## [Why Is It So Hard To Work Virtually?](https://blog.fracturedatlas.org/challenges-virtual-working)
By [Nina Berman](https://blog.fracturedatlas.org/author/nina-berman)
March 25th, 2020
So your job has just gone virtual. Now what? Once your company or organization has figured out how to get everyone a computer, which video conferencing and chat tools to use, and how to store files on a shared cloud-based drive, there’s still a huge amount of adjustment that needs to take place. Even though you’re still working on a computer, things probably feel totally different. It can be hard to get back into the swing of things. You might feel uninspired, isolated, or like you can’t concentrate. Even under the best circumstances, this is totally normal for workers who have transitioned from office life to virtual working.

## [Tools To Make Remote Work Less Remote](https://blog.fracturedatlas.org/tools-to-make-remote-work-less-remote)
By [Nico Carpenter](https://blog.fracturedatlas.org/author/nico-carpenter)
March 23rd, 2020
People talk a lot about remote work, and I don't love the word. It makes me think of people working on a deserted island, disconnected from the organization. That's not a great way to run an organization; it creates silos and a disconnected team. Silos and disconnection are a perfect recipe for organizations that can’t adapt to change, innovate, or make the world a bit of a better place.

## [7 Tips on Crafting Virtual Workplaces from Work Shouldn’t Suck](https://blog.fracturedatlas.org/crafting-successful-virtual-workplaces)
By [Nina Berman](https://blog.fracturedatlas.org/author/nina-berman)
March 19th, 2020
Work. Shouldn’t. Suck. promotes people-centric organizational design for thriving workplaces. And these days, workplaces are increasingly going fully virtual, often in the span of days or weeks. How do we make sure that the transition sucks as little as possible?

## [How to Transition to a Virtual Workplace Overnight](https://blog.fracturedatlas.org/expedited-transition-virtual-workplace)
By [Tim Cynova](https://blog.fracturedatlas.org/author/tim-cynova)
March 13th, 2020
The question that I’m increasingly asked nowadays (and something the team at Fractured Atlas who helped manage our own transition have been discussing) is: now that we’re an entirely virtual organization, having evolved into it over 4-5 years, what if we had to do again, overnight?

## [Working Together, Apart](https://blog.fracturedatlas.org/working-together-apart)
By [Andrew Taylor](https://blog.fracturedatlas.org/author/andrew-taylor)
January 24th, 2020
As of January 1, 2020, Fractured Atlas has no physical headquarters, no home office, no official shared workspace whatsoever. As you can read elsewhere, the organization (for which I’m honored to serve on the board) decided not to renew its lease on its long-standing Manhattan office, instead embracing an entirely “virtual” workforce.

## [New Metrics for New Models: Measuring the Success of Shared Leadership](https://blog.fracturedatlas.org/measuring-success-shared-leadership)
By [Russell Willis Taylor](https://blog.fracturedatlas.org/author/russell-willis-taylor)
December 5th, 2019
Since we embarked on our new leadership journey, I (in my role as Chair of the Fractured Atlas Board) have been asked a number of times “Why take the risk?” As Fractured Atlas is in the risk business with regard to innovation and services for our members, the better question to me is why not take the risk – it's what we do. This brief post is an outline of the benefits thus far, as well as an honest admission about what we still haven’t figured out. (My fellow board member Chris Mackie will be writing on the detailed list of what we have yet to resolve and design – this will be a quick pass in anticipation of his contribution which is coming soon.)

## [Know a PEO: Outsourcing Payroll, Benefits, & Support in HR Compliance](https://blog.fracturedatlas.org/professional-employment-organizations)
By [Jillian Wright](https://blog.fracturedatlas.org/author/jillian-wright)
October 17th, 2019
How can a small People team administer payroll, benefits, and HR compliance when team members are scattered across 11 U.S. states and 6 countries? This was a key question we wrestled with before it was even possible for us to consider becoming an entirely virtual organization. Fortunately, we found an answer to that question in a service that’s been on the market since the 1980s.
