The ideal remote workplace

The ideal remote workplace

Many employers try to meet the demand for remote work by saying all the right things to prospective employees. However, they are not committed to or effective at building a healthy, high-performing remote or hybrid workplace.

It can help to fully understand a company's remote work infrastructure during recruitment. The key is to look for attributes about the organisation's remote culture and ask the right questions about the principles and norms that dictate the overall company culture and remote work experience.

Company culture and values

 When considering if a company has an effective remote culture, ensure the company has strong core values and a healthy culture. One key truth is that the elements needed for an effective remote company culture are the same for a great company culture in any type of workplace.

Research the company's values, then ask questions about those values in the interview.

  • Ask the interviewer to share the company's values and see how they respond. Do they know the values?
  • Ask how core values factor into employee evaluations and advancement.
  • Research the company on Glassdoor or a comparable review site.

Remote work strategy

Remote work strategy

Many companies are not fully committed to a strong remote work environment.

Candidates need to know if the remote policy is a well-planned strategy with supporting systems and processes instead of a haphazard strategy.

  • Ask how often remote employees are expected to be in the office. An employer should give clear guidelines.
  • Ask how prevalent remote work is at the organisation. It is unhelpful if you are the only remote employee on a team.
  • Ask how the company handles one-on-one, team, department, or company meetings.
  • Ask about the tech infrastructure and how their technology supports remote work.

In-person connnectivity

The best remote organizations create opportunities for people to meet and bond in-person.

Candidates should ask if the company hosts all-company events, co-working days, or other opportunities to connect in -person.

Most remote employees don’t want to work from home to avoid seeing people — they want more flexibility or the chance to skip their painful commute.

CURATOR'S NOTE

The job market is filled with partially or fully remote roles. However, some of these companies are offering opportunities that are less rewarding than they seem. Therefore, candidates should do their homework to ensure that the company has a good hybrid or remote environment before accepting the job.

This app is LOADED with RELEVANT, HELPFUL, AND EDUCATIONAL material. It is creatively intellectual, yet minimal enough to not overstimulate and create a learning block. I am exceptionally impressed with this app!

Brilliant. It feels fresh and encouraging. So many interesting pieces of information that are just enough to absorb and apply. So happy I found this.

I have only been using it for a few days now, but I have found answers to questions I had never consciously formulated, or to problems I face everyday at work or at home. I wish I had found this earlier, highly recommended!
