These boxes must be ticked to enable flexible and remote working

Peter du ToitI'm the founder of FutureWork IQ where I spend my time assisting businesses to improve their climate literacy so as to understand the projected impacts from the expanding climate crisis and how to adapt their workplaces in the face of these impacts.

The following should all be considered in detail:

🔲 A well designed “office in the cloud” which replicates how your team works in person. Note: there is no one-size-fits all. Your digital workplace is unique to you.

🔲 A leadership team that can be visible virtually. Just as visible as walking around a physical office, interacting with staff daily only doing so digitally.

🔲 A culture that prioritizes output over physical presence (i.e. a results only work environment.)

🔲 A living flexible/remote working “operations” manual. Very similar to the GitLab Handbook.

🔲 A team where every team member has the necessary virtual work skills to work efficiently in a technology rich environment. (i.e. be digitally literate & fluent.)
