Aaaand, we’re almost done! 2023 has been a year of dynamic shifts in the remote work landscape… Yes. We know you know.

We went from incredible innovations to some tricky challenges, but it's been a fruitful journey of learning and adapting.

Just a few days ago, our CEO, Bill Kerr, alongside other remote work experts from PandaDoc and Hotjar, shared their reflections and insights in a captivating webinar hosted by SafetyWing, titled "2023: Best & Worst Remote Work Moments” and moderated by the amazing Rowena Hennigan, founder of RoRemote.

So… settle in, and explore the key themes and revelations from the insightful session!

🥳 Celebrating Our Wins: Inspiring Stories from 2023

This year, remote work broadened horizons in more ways than one. Robin Corralez from PandaDoc highlighted how embracing remote operations enabled them to build a diverse, globally sourced executive team. Over at Athyna, we saw our policies create extraordinary opportunities – imagine developing products amidst the stunning backdrop of the Annapurna Circuit in Nepal… we’re not kidding! This adventurous approach to remote work not only fueled creativity but also empowered our team to blend work and personal passions seamlessly.

🧑‍🎓 Remote Work Challenges 2023: What did we learn?

This year wasn't without its challenges… oh no, it wasn’t. Devising fair compensation strategies for a global team posed some tricky questions. Ken Weary from Hotjar, shed light on the importance of structured documentation in remote settings – a lesson learned as Hotjar streamlined their previously cluttered information management.

Meanwhile, our very own founder, Bill Kerr, recommended using a coaching approach for conversations, studying competitors, and using competitors' data as a benchmark.

Bill also shared how getting good at communicating and explaining the company’s strategy is essential and part of any necessary honest conversation with team members on compensation.

"We had to try and get a feel for what is happening in the market, what are the local rates, global standards, and learn more about international companies hiring local teams, especially because it's challenging to find trustworthy data. We also must be very transparent with candidates, having those tough conversations, when required".
