How To Encourage a Great Culture for Remote Employees

Even before COVID, there were fully remote companies with engaged employees and great cultures.
 
Such as the one discussed in the article linked below.
 
Which many organizations might consider emulating.

This company not only covers the costs for an annual, company-wide get-together, and has done since the company’s inception.
 
It also pays employees $300 per day to spend paid-time-off with far-flung colleagues.
 
All while encouraging the practice through the clever use of a Slack channel.
 
The outcome of which is strong working relationships between colleagues, despite the fact that they do not see one another in person regularly.
 
This is a company that has been purposeful about its culture, an important point.

So, even when everyone is fully on-site, it’s important to plan your culture.
 
Just as it is when everyone is hybrid or remote.
 
Because your culture exists, whether deliberate or not.
 
But often when it’s not planned, the result is less than desirable.
 
Yet, as this article shows, with clear intent, it is entirely possible to build an excellent culture.
 
And connected, engaged employees are going to stay longer, and talk/post about their great workplace, which will in turn attract top talent.
