Be 'remote first' to succeed at hybrid
To build a thriving hybrid work culture, you need to understand how remote companies operate because, at any one time, a percentage of your people will be working remotely. To ensure the people working remotely don’t feel like second-class citizens, you must integrate remote-first best practices into the company's DNA and treat remote working as the default way of working. It is vital to build a hybrid work culture where:
- Remote employees must feel as much a part of the team as those in the office.
- Everybody experiences the culture in the same way, so there are no second class citizens.
- The leadership team works (mostly) remote.
Remote work best practices
- Focus on communication
- Process-ize the business
- Ensure wellbeing
- Develop social connection
- Create documentation
- Build/Enhance/Demonstrate trust
- Focus on results/output
- Be deliberate about culture
- Customize recruitment & onboarding processes
