Session: Creating a culture of connectivity, support, and success in a remote work environment
Companies were increasingly gravitating to remote work well before the pandemic, but the speed of adoption accelerated when office spaces were abandoned in droves in 2020 - especially in the technology sector. Toptal was founded as a fully remote company in 2010, and has successfully built a business with $200M+ revenue per year, and thousands of people across 160+ countries. As Chief People Officer of Toptal, Michelle has spearheaded numerous initiatives to support global growth, as well as create infrastructure that fosters a culture of connectivity, support, and success for the company and its people alike with no HQ required. For those considering going remote forever, or improving management of remote teams, learn best practices from the CPO of the largest fully distributed workforce in the world.Key Takeaways
- A healthy remote company culture cannot simply be replicated using the in-office culture playbook.
- Trust is the cornerstone of success and happy team members in any remote setting.
- Clearly defined roles and responsibilities, as well as measurable goals are imperative for team members to invest in their work and remain accountable. Work today is not about time at your desk, rather, it is about delivering measurable results.
