Working with a remote team requires companies to think about much more than where the work happens. The best remote teams operate on a foundation of communication, transparency, and trust. Without that foundation, the productivity increases and improved work-life balance that remote workers enjoy are more difficult to achieve.
The first step to working with remote employees is ensuring you can hire and pay them legally. That’s what we do at Remote: help businesses of all sizes employ and pay their global teams in compliance with local labor laws. If you can’t legally employ someone, you can’t very well work together.
Whether you can legally employ a remote worker depends largely on whether you have a legal entity in the country where the worker lives. Without an entity, you need some help. As you look at solutions for global employment, make sure your chosen partner is an owned-entity provider and not a partner-dependent provider. Pick the wrong type, and you could be in for some nasty surprises down the road.
Becoming a remote-first company simply means coaching your team members and managers to communicate in a way that makes it equally easy for co-located and remote employees to do their best work.
This means holding conversations in ways that allow remote employees to participate at the same level as co-located employees.
There are many different ways to develop culture remotely.
