Recommendation
Netflix might pine for an in-person workforce, but most companies are
preparing for a new hybrid model. A distributed-teams strategy, where firms
support team members working remotely, requires a change in how
companies do business, reports Paul Sawers for VentureBeat. Asynchronous
communication, focused more on iterative written communication than on
endless online meetings, is only one adjustment. For large established
companies, a “spoke-and-hub” model is a likely solution. New companies,
trying to bloom in the COVID era, are implementing a distributed team
strategy from the onset. As they grow, that is likely to become commonplace.
Take-Aways
• Although leaders may long for the old model, many companies are
working with a remote workforce.
• The changing workforce requires redefining how you do business.
• Post pandemic, companies are likely to embrace a combined or hybrid
model.
Summary
Although leaders may long for the old model, companies are
working with a remote workforce.
Netflix co-CEO Reed Hastings maintains that having your staff work remotely
is detrimental to a company, but he’s in the minority. Before COVID-19
required employees worldwide to vacate their offices, an increasing number
of people already worked remotely, at least part time.
Some companies are leaning into the change. Facebook and Twitter plan to
have their staff members work remotely permanently. Hastings, however,
hopes his employees will be back in the office immediately after their
coronavirus vaccine shots.
“
remotely, companies need to learn to communicate asynchronously.
”
For a distributed workforce to succeed, remote working needs
to be built into the fabric of the company.
“
hybrid will emerge.
”
For remote work to be successful, it has to be native…rather
than simply permitted.
