Bob hate what? What a good opportunity to catch up. I'm excited because few days ago I wrote an article for LinkedIn on the future of work. And as you know, you and I have been playing in this sandbox called The Future Work for quite some time and excited that we're teaming again. And I was motivated to write this article on the future of work because I see some pretty exciting dynamics happening. Kind of reminds me of key transition. Workplace back 20 plus years ago when you and I got familiar with this thing called the Internet. Same, right, seeing some some similar signs or maybe we've seen this movie a little bit before, but. One of the key, uh, future drivers in my research that I don't think is really a surprise number one came up that, you know, there's this idea of hybrid or remote work. So one of the premises, you know, that we're talking about and specifically a future looking into the next 10 years. One of the pieces of research, Bob was a Gartner and I think, you know, you and I are familiar with Gartner a lot of people. Respect and trust their opinion. In one of their surveys believe 80% of company leaders right now are gonna plan to allow their employees to work remotely at least part time. And about 40 percent, 47% are nearly 50% of those employees to work remotely full time. So. Strategy should and will require some culture on operational adjustments to team and effectively communicate with the remote teams that you select. One of the first things to consider. Plan to integrate the teams and each workstream seamlessly, as seamlessly as possible across your departments utilizing automation in real time collaboration tools, which I I think I'll there's another question related to that I can speak to. And an in house level executive management team is very helpful in the design, development and management liaison with remote teams and your in country manager, which is something you you will need to have. Secondly, you want to develop performance metrics tailored to the roles and expected outcomes of each individuals within the aggregated team so as to ensure the measurement and rewarding of productivity. And quality of individual team member contributions just as you do now with your existing in country team. The most stable besting class remote teams I believe are those that receive recognition, affirmation and praise where possible. Sometimes praise and and recognition or is important as the compensation that they receive. Being knowledge is important. Stability is more assured we carrying effectively manage your team. That's why of course, but thirdly, I'd say culture. Fostering a remote, friendly environment involves promoting your values as well as ensuring trust and flexibility accountability alongside. Regular virtual team building activities that you're carrying on now. So sourcing globally and diverse talent pools and with varying skill sets requires providing people with structured onboarding. That's really important and continuous education.

The first two weeks for new team members are crucial! Establishing clear communication channels for quick problem-solving can make all the difference. Whether through text, phone, Teams, or Zoom, having a triage person to handle questions is vital. Radical candor is key—be open about what's working and what's not. Early transparency helps address issues before they escalate, ensuring smooth operations from the start. #businesssuccess #FIRSTTWOWEEKS #EffectiveCommunication #RadicalCandor #startuptips #BusinessOptimization

How do you build your off-site (i.e. strategic team retreats) to be effective? Stacey Nordwall shares her framework for a 5-day off-site, which I love. I also build into the agenda enough time for building an action plan, after the "goals and what's next" section. Let the team decide what is/isn't a priority in this next quarter/year and then map out resources/talent needed. From there, build out a detailed action plan collaboratively, keeping the overarching goal and KPI in mind. Put milestones, deadlines, and OKRs in place and make sure the entire team signs off on it and feels good about the plan moving forward. In doing that, you'll identify potential roadblocks and start to problem-solve for those before you even leave the off-site. Q: how do you structure yours? Super important!

When planning our off-site, we think about the overall flow of the week and try to create an experiential arc. At Pyn, we like using this general structure: Monday - acclimating and connection time (usually a half day) Tuesday - retrospective sessions / discussion Wednesday - team activity Thursday - goals and what's next Friday - takeaways and goodbye (usually a half day or less) For those who plan your company off-sites, is this similar to the structure you use? #remotework #offsites
