Celebrate Failure & Other Great Ways to Build Culture on a Remote Team

In today’s remote work environment, it’s easy to feel isolated and disconnected. When that happens you get a workforce that is disengaged and products that are bland.

When our organization went remote we were faced with a big question: How do we create a strong culture of proactive individuals? In our experimentation, research, and yes, failure, we found that the solution was a mixture of simple principles of consistency, accountability, vulnerability, safety, and purpose applied in a deliberate way.

In this session, you will learn how to implement a simple system to build a strong remote work culture. You’ll learn a strategy for running meetings that actually builds engagement and accountability—and removes defensiveness and disengagement. You will learn how to create natural virtual activities that will build the rapport you need to maintain trust. Finally, you will learn the process of 360 team evaluations that will take your group from just co-workers to being a cohesive team of like-minded, trusting members. We will show you how to execute these processes on a daily, monthly, and annual basis so that you can build a positive culture to develop your remote team into an effective workforce and a strong community.

In this session you will learn how to:

• Use check-in meetings to build a safe culture of accountability
• Build a culture of transparency and shared purpose
• Build a culture of vulnerability and improvement to develop your team
• Build a culture of fun and enjoyment while sitting at a computer
