    262: Navigating Remote Work Challenges with Marjorie Hook
    Sep 22 2024
    Marjorie Hook is the Vice President of People and Culture for Openly, where she focuses on the employee life cycle and sustaining a world-class remote culture. With over 15 years of experience leading people functions for both large tech companies and high-growth tech startups, Marjorie brings a wealth of knowledge in managing remote teams and fostering a cohesive work environment. She joined Openly in 2022 and has been instrumental in implementing innovative strategies to enhance employee engagement and productivity in a fully remote setting. Key Takeaways include: -Building a Remote Culture: Creating a cohesive remote culture requires intentional efforts to foster connection, trust, and clear communication. Utilize collaboration tools and establish clear goals and expectations to ensure everyone is aligned and engaged. -Handling Difficult Conversations: Managers need to be observant and sensitive when having difficult conversations over Zoom. It's crucial to create a space that allows for processing and follow-up, replicating the in-person experience as much as possible. -Effective Use of Slack: Establish standards for using Slack to avoid miscommunication and ensure it’s used appropriately for quick information sharing rather than major decision-making. Managers should step in when conversations become unproductive or heated. -Managing Time Zones: For teams spread across different time zones, establish core working hours that overlap and use the end caps of the day for individual work. This ensures effective communication and collaboration despite geographical differences. -Addressing Employee Burnout: Remote work can lead to higher levels of burnout and loneliness. Managers should look for signs of stress and provide support and resources to help employees maintain their mental health and well-being. “Remote workplace, everything has to be a little bit more explicit, I think. Having written records of what individuals are doing and what teams are doing, really important as well, using collaboration tools so that you can have both asynchronous and synchronous work happening at the same time.” – Marjorie Hook #RemoteWork #Leadership #RemoteTeams #Communication #TeamBuilding #MentalHealth #RemoteManagement Connect with Marjorie Hook openly.com/ https://www.facebook.com/openlyllc https://www.linkedin.com/in/marjoriehook/ Connect with Manage Smarter Hosts · Website: ManageSmarter.com · LinkedIn: Audrey Strong · LinkedIn: C.Lee Smith Connect with SalesFuel · Website: http://salesfuel.com/ · Twitter: @SalesFuel · Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/salesfuel/ Learn more about your ad choices.
