Connection in Times of Quarantine

HR Without Ego

Yesterday, one of my favorite groups of humans, the Workhuman Live attendees, got together virtually for the event we didn’t realize that we all needed most. Sure, we knew that we needed connection. We knew we loved the content that Workhuman provides. We knew we missed one another. I’m not sure any of us realized just how much. As many of us are on the people side of business, we are going non-stop during this time. We are “ over-functioners ” as our patron saint Brené Brown would say.

Building and maintaining culture with remote teams

PI Worldwide

Don’t let anyone fool you—company culture can be tough to define with a remote workforce. It takes a concerted effort, and even if you have flexible, experienced people, you still straddle a fine line. Go too heavy on the perks and icebreakers and you might come off as contrived. But remote teams require you to engage more deliberately and codify additional guidelines. Not doing so jeopardizes employee engagement and productivity.
