Retain Top Talent

The problem with studies showing that the trend with remote work is increasing and will continue to increase/speed along due to the COVID challenges.

The unfortunate news is that most companies are ill-prepared to managed remote workers. I'm covering 8 key points in my 90 minute Virtual Vistage Workshops on Managing Remotely in a Crisis. The lack of pivoting, innovation, best practices, and changing cultures due to remote workers is almost zero. Most organizations are applying the same tactics of managing they've been using in physical proximity over the last few decades. It DOES NOT WORK anymore.

Expectations of work performance are non-existent, employee engagement and productivity is weak. communication is horrific, and employees feel cast aside, lonely, out of sync with the team and culture.

Let's fix these fundamental problems of how to manage remotely before throwing more people into home office environments.

Employees Unhappy with their employers. Big surprise here!

I'm surprised the number is not higher with most employers not doing anything of substance different than before the Corona Virus.

This level of dissatisfaction, disengagement, and unhappiness is only going to increase substantially over the next two months.

Are you managing as if nothing has changed?

In my Vistage webinars for Groups and members on Managing Remotely in a Crisis - one of the biggest concerns CEOs express is how to maintain their culture wth a remote workforce.

This article specifically addresses that issue and starts with the recommendation to nail down your values.

Here's my favorite quote from the article:

“Company culture comes from the people, not the physical space they inhabit.”
