This episode focuses on remote operations and how to implement them for companies. We will discuss the change management required to influence new meeting policies and practices, the need for a company hub, and the habit of asynchronous documentation. I have Juraj Holub, co-founder of Remote People, discuss these topics with me.

Quotes from the show

The best way to deal with meetings is to turn most of them into async. Then, keep the crucial ones in your calendar and make them count. Those are the ones that will move the needle.

The best way to implement remote-first changes in your company is to win an ambassador who promotes the change. Who believes in its importance, believes in its benefits, and is also a power user of remote tools.

The future of work will be about flexibility. So it will be extremely important for the companies, not a nice-to-have tool, but a business imperative to get it right, to retain and hire talent, to hire new talent, because people will be choosing their employers based on this well, not only on the compensation.
