Date: 14 July 2020
Staff you never see, emails flying around at all times of the day, meetings on a screen… Welcome to the new world of staff and team management for small business. And if you hadn’t already nailed time tracking, online comms and screen sharing you might have just had a steep learning curve in the past few months.
So now we’re faced with this new normal being a long term reality.
Well, for some of us it’s new but for some tech savvy companies out there who are used to rapid growth, remote staff and everything being online it’s business as usual?
So what can we learn from these experts?
Well, for starters a workplace culture that evolves, hiring for values and not a creating a monoculture and crystal clear comms are key. Vu Tran the co-founder of GO1, a successful and fast growing tech company specialising in training software - with an interesting journey of his own to share.
Welcome to the show Vu.
Topics we’ll be covering:
How can businesses foster a strong organisational culture as more team members than ever are working from home?
As a larger business how do you draw on that experience of adapting to change from when you were a startup?
How do you find the different staff?
How do you remain clear in communication with a larger staff base?
o Focus on key areas & metrics and then subgoals. Everyone in the company knows which goes we contribute to
o OKR’s is the system; setting objective and goal setting around this. Stretch goals so individuals know where they sit in achieving those goals. The objectives are met from bottom up not top down.
o Even though we’re digital we still use butcher paper!
o K.I.S.S
How do you remain clear in communication in this remote workforce?
