The push-pull of remote versus in-office continues. You CAN make remote work well, but there's skills and clarity to develop. A thoughtful policy is a good place to start so you get the advantages of remote without losing all the spark of in-person.
If you are trying to articulate an effective remote work policy... here
you go! I sat down with Kaleem Clarkson, the Chief Operations Officer for BlendMe, a company that assists hybrid and remote teams with their people operations and their policy!
Kaleem highlighted the importance of connection - really that's the
purpose of being in-person so for focused work... in-person is not the place to be. See the video
In this episode, you'll also learn about:
đ Starting with the organization's philosophy on remote work. As with so many things in HR, understand WHY you're doing it.
đŻ Creating role flexibility categories to help manage expectations.
đ Clarifying the true purpose of in-office meetings.
đ„ The etiquette for virtual meetings.
đ©ČI don't think you should wear your underwear even if they are not
visible. Kaleem??? Clearly this is still evolving. đ
