Workspace
the dream
the cruel reality the cruel reality
ONE DOES NOT SIMPLY WORK FROM HOME WITHOUT DISTRACTIONS ONE
DOES NOT SIMPLY WORK FROM HOME WITHOUT DISTRACTIONS
have a dedicated workspace
close the door!
use headphones use headphones
consider a co-working space I’m told Valdivia is great for
that
define a work schedule
stick to it! define a work schedule
Workspace • Have a dedicated workspace • Make it clear
that you’re working • Define a work schedule • Consider a co-working space
Communication
encourage frequent audio & video calls
keep an eye on audio quality
keep an eye on audio quality and ambient noise too!
problems with multi-cultural teams Lost in Translation
• Talk slowly and clearly • Avoid culture-specific jargon •
Avoid sarcasm • Use emojis freely
maximize timezone overlap
rotate meeting times
encourage appreciate off-schedule efforts
• Use audio and video, not just chat • Be
aware of cultural diversity • Timezone difference is an issue Communication
Team Building
WORKING FROM HOME? YEAH SURE! WORKING FROM HOME? YEAH SURE!
RIP
assume people think you’re a slacker DON’T assume people think
you’re a slacker DON’T
compensate working extra hours DON’T compensate working extra hours
feel guilty for all the perks of working remotely DON’T
promote a culture of trust and freedom (transparency is key)
DO
evaluate performance and results (not worked hours) DO
anyone can work remotely not just people from out of
town
gather your team together once or twice a year
not just working together but also having fun together
Team Building • Transparency is key • Build trust and
give freedom • Evaluate based on results • Anyone can work remotely • Organize in-person team meetings
Thanks! @gnapse
