Areas of Evaluation
Our model looks at six key areas essential to running a successful remote organization.
Hiring, Management, & Engagement
Hiring and retaining talent looks very different for a distributed workforce. Company leaders must be prepared to change the way they manage teams and track progress. A culture that values trust, autonomy, and diverse skillsets is critical.
Remote Strategy & Leadership
For a remote company to succeed, leaders must be prepared to invest in a values-based culture that champions trust and transparency. To accomplish company objectives, alignment among leaders and teams is paramount.
Communication & Collaboration Tools
Traditional technologies are designed for locally-based teams, but there are a variety of new tools and programs that enable seamless communication and collaboration among globally-distributed teams.
Technical Infrastructure
Leveraging the proper software is the foundation for successful technical teams. Whether it's using 3rd party software or custom in-house systems, implementing remote best practices for development, design, and management allows organizations to excel remotely.
Policies & Compliance
Having the right policies and procedures to operate remotely builds the foundation needed to accomplish business goals. With the right approach to mitigate risk, operating safely and securely outside location constraints is achievable.
Security & Privacy
Longterm success requires remote-specific considerations for security standards and privacy regulations. Customer and brand trust is established through risk avoidance designed for the remote workplace.
Remote Work Readiness Stages
- Beginning
- Transitioning
- Developing
- Thriving
Companies in the Beginning Stage have many opportunities to implement new technologies, tools, and processes that will improve the productivity and collaboration of teams, mitigate risk and security issues, and dramatically increase the company's ability to be effective and efficient in a remote setting.
