Question: I’m a business owner and I am considering having most of my staff go fully remote. My employees are on board, but what steps should I take to make sure my team stays engaged and productive?At Willful, we are fully remote and have been for the past four years. My husband and I – he is also my co-founder – moved from Toronto to Prince Edward County, Ont.
My husband and I have two toddlers, so we need a workplace that’s empathetic to a kid’s sick day or daycare drop off. We’ve instituted what we call our core hours policy. Monday to Thursday, from noon to 4:00 p.m., everyone is expected to be online. That’s when we typically hold our team events and meetings. Outside of that, people organize their time however they want. I’m a morning person, but other people are nighthawks and they like to stay up late and do their coding at 11 p.m.
In addition to regular virtual meetings and events, we do one annual in-person retreat. In the past, we’ve gone to the Dominican Republic and Mexico, and this year we went to Prince Edward Island and it was amazing. It’s not cheap, but we take what we would spend on an office and all of the associated costs from snacks to office cleaning and we reallocate it into this full company in-person retreat.
