The first seven
Setting up a remote team 101
Communication is everything
Remote forces you to be 10x more thoughtful about planning and communication. Be it sync or async. This helps everyone manage their personal schedule throughout the day.
First things first: Nobody likes traveling to work for hours everyday. At work: Information FOMO > Social FOMO. And no one wants to miss out on what’s happening at work.
More intentional from day one
In an office setup, people check in with their neighbors or walk over to their friends to know more about what’s happening.
But when companies are not intentional in remote communication, team members tend to: Stay always online, Attend more meetings than necessary, and Work increased hours as they are ‘available at all times’.
