Need next-level advice on remote working? On 12 August 2020, we were honored to host a webinar with Jason Fried, the co-founder, and CEO of Basecamp. During the webinar, Fried dived deeper into the topic of remote working with Raymond Hofmann, a management and organization designer. The two discuss issues such as the benefits and pitfalls of remote working, productivity and collaboration in a remote setting, and working culture when working remotely.

During the webinar, we dive deeper into the topic of leading a remote team.
• What traps to avoid when your company is increasing remote work?
• How to be productive yet collaborative when working remotely?
• How to maintain a good working culture in a remote setting?

Key points:
• Both remote work and local work have pros and cons. For many companies, a hybrid model combining both might be the way to go.
• Remote work can be the key to resilience. If your organization is not tied to one location and people can work from anywhere, you are simply stronger.
• One of the biggest mistakes companies make is that they try to simulate office life with remote work. Remote work should be more about asynchronous work, and less about real-time.
• Some leaders feel that they are losing control over their employees when working remotely, but this shouldn't be a problem. The only way to evaluate people’s work is to look at the work itself – and that can be done remotely.
• Although remote work is partly a technological matter, it’s primarily a cultural thing.

Questions:
• Is your organizational structure and culture allowing productive remote work?
• Would a hybrid model of local and remote work be a good fit for your organization?
• How can you cut down the number of meetings you have in your organization?
• How can you eliminate the expectations of immediate response in your organization?
