Microsoft is in a prime position to do the research, interventions and technology innovations need to advance the benefits of remote work. We discuss the benefits and challenges that remote workers<br \/>\nface. We provide remote work guidelines based upon personal experiences of working remotely before the COVID-19 pandemic. In this position paper, we argue for employers to<br \/>\nbecome allies for remote workers and to empower workers to work in their preferred environment. We provide ways to create a culture of allyship within organizations and teams. By creating a sustainable remote work environment and empowering remote employees, companies will find more productive employees with higher job satisfaction.<\/p>\n<h3>Keywords<\/h3>\n<p>remote work, inclusion, diversity, allyship<\/p>\n<div class=\"yt-consent-placeholder\" role=\"region\" aria-label=\"Video playback requires cookie consent\" data-video-id=\"k7VSECwsljs\" data-poster=\"https:\/\/img.youtube.com\/vi\/k7VSECwsljs\/maxresdefault.jpg\"><iframe aria-hidden=\"true\" tabindex=\"-1\" title=\"Empowering and Supporting Remote Software Development Team Members through a Culture of Allyship\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube-nocookie.com\/embed\/k7VSECwsljs?feature=oembed&rel=0&enablejsapi=1\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<div class=\"yt-consent-placeholder__overlay\"><button class=\"yt-consent-placeholder__play\"><svg width=\"42\" height=\"42\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" aria-hidden=\"true\" focusable=\"false\"><g fill=\"none\" fill-rule=\"evenodd\"><circle fill=\"#000\" opacity=\".556\" cx=\"21\" cy=\"21\" r=\"21\"\/><path stroke=\"#FFF\" d=\"M27.5 22l-12 8.5v-17z\"\/><\/g><\/svg><span class=\"yt-consent-placeholder__label\">Video playback requires cookie consent<\/span><\/button><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<h3 class=\"\">ABOUT THE AUTHOR\/S<\/h3>\n<p><strong>Paige Rodeghero<\/strong><br \/>\nMicrosoft Research, Clemson University<br \/>\n<a href=\"mailto:prodegh@clemson.edu\">prodegh@clemson.edu<\/a><\/p>\n<p><em>Paige Rodeghero is a Visiting Researcher at Microsoft Research and an Assistant Professor of Computer Science at Clemson University.
