Are you a first-time manager of remote team? Start here.
Few practical resources exist on how to exactly manage a remote team well. So, in 2019, we surveyed 297 remote managers and employees, cited conversations from 1,000+ managers in our leadership community in Know Your Team, and distilled research on remote work from the past 10 years. The result? Our CEO Claire Lew wrote 11 chapters on best practices for managing remote teams, based on this research.
Here’s what is in our Guide to Managing Remote Teams.
Based on our research we cover these topics…
- What Remote Managers Do Differently
- How to Communicate Well as a Remote Manager
- Process and Tools: How to collaborate effectively when your team is remote
- How to Build Social Connection in a Remote Team
- Performance Management in a Remote Team
- Onboarding and Training in a Remote Team
- Hiring, Compensation, and Benefits in a Remote Team
- Managing Up, When Remote
- Transitions: What do know and do before becoming a remote manager
- Setting Employees Up for Success in a Remote Environment
- Getting the Rest of Your Organization Onboard with Remote Work
