Remote Work Impacts Every Aspect of Your Business
Mission & Vision
Alignment in remote working environments is even more important than in an office setting. One of the key benefits of remote work is increased productivity; however you’ll need to make sure your team is swimming in the same direction. Often managers don’t have a handle on productivity and goal alignment until it’s too late. Resources are at a premium and making sure priorities and objectives are laser focused on your overall company vision is something that needs to be managed consistently and frequently. A number of tools can be used to ensure your team is unified in their approach.
Tools & Communication
From the phone and fax machine to email and slack, tools for remote communication and collaboration have been around for decades. Nevertheless a remote workforce is going to want to adapt a set of tools and cadence for communication that empowers them to collaborate effectively, reduce the perceived space between teammates, and to do so without constant disruption and distraction. There are a different set of tools out there - changing every day - and this will help you discover the best tools to optimize your remote collaboration, communication and culture
Hiring & Onboarding

How do you recognize the candidates who want remote first, and aren’t truly passionate about your company?
