Takeaways 

  • In the last two years, the world changed drastically. You can either recognize it and leverage it, or ignore it and slowly fade away. 
  • One way to help remote workers in different time zones is to figure out work they can do autonomously in their own time zone.
  • It is essential to consider the human element of your team when creating a work environment for them. Create an environment that is conducive to your remote workers getting to enjoy their out-of-work activities.
  • It is important to accommodate the different challenges remote workers may face in different geographical locations. While a company in California might have sunny weather all year, a worker in Vermont could lose internet during strong snowstorms in the winter.
  • With the proper setup, the new digital workspace can allow you to set up a talented globally diverse workforce. 
  • While part-time remote workers have their benefits, hiring full-time employees can lead to a better quality of work, and a happier employee
  • You need to have a commitment to the retention of your current employees.
