Be Happy Remote Sam Roberts

Join us in this episode of the Be Happy Remote Podcast as Sam discusses how an individual, team, or company communications charter will improve your communication and take some of the guess work out of work. Learn what a communication charter is and exactly what to include in your teams to set yourselves up for success. Miscommunication and conflict are two common stressors at work but if we took the guess work out of communicating remotely, we could minimise both.

On the one hand, you have companies like Zoom calling for a RTO, and on the other, you have companies like Meta paying close to $181M to get out of their London office lease early because it won't be filling the space. There is another option and that is a virtual office.

Join Sam as she chats with Brett Martin, President & Co-Founder of Kumospace about why it seems like so many companies are returning to the office (RTO), what the benefits of a return to a virtual office (RVO) are as an alternative, and how companies can foster greater connection and productivity through virtual co-working.

Kumospace is a virtual office and event space tool used by companies like NASA, KPMG, Shopify, and The U School. If you would like to learn more about Kumospace and give virtual office work a try, contact Brett at brett@kumospace.com
