Remote teams are mainstream and no longer a nice to have approach. There has been a significant paradigm shift in how companies are striving to build and manage remote teams successfully.
Managers were forced to wake up to a reality at an unprecedented scale where the entire team is remote.
Suddenly, the normal processes and collaboration practices do not hold good for remote team management.
For most, a revamp of how they communicate, collaborate and support their teams became imminent.
And suddenly, managers had to ask themselves:
- How do I continue to generate the same productivity levels from my team?
- How do we collaborate at scale?
- How to maintain steady information exchange while maintaining data security and privacy?
- How to work with uncertainties in team availability?
- How do I support my team well?
At face value, some may say the answers are simple. May be! But implementation and practical results are a different beast altogether.
