Lessons Learned from Companies Who Have Been Working Remotely
The phrase “business as usual” is never going to be the same again.
COVID-19 has flipped society upside-down and not only has it reeked havoc on our personal lives, but our professional lives as well.
With the new reality setting in, many start-ups have had to completely change the way they do business. While some of these changes will be temporary, others will become permanent and one of those permanent changes is going to be the reality of remote work.
Fearing remote work is completely valid. Change is difficult and sometimes downright terrifying, especially when it’s so large and sudden like the Virus-That-Shall-Not-Be-Named 😉.
Even I was anxious about the idea of running a remote team when all of this started. I had so many questions racing through my head with the most important one being, where am I going to get my morning caffeine fix if not from the local Bridgehead down the street? (pro tip: order a Nespresso machine, it has been my saving grace.)
In this blog post, I’m going to share strategies from the most effective remote teams and explain how you can adopt their best practices in your own remote team.
