Working with me is an all-access pass to a knowledge base of remote work challenges from all sides. From small businesses running their remote operations, to years on the front lines of a Fortune 5 healthcare company during the emergency remote transition of 35,000 employees (and their overseas contractors).
It’s virtually impossible to apply a cookie-cutter approach to remote work. Together, we'll roll up our sleeves and tackle the core elements of a successful remote work program specific to the challenges of your organization.
100% remote or hybrid? Work from home or work from anywhere? BYOD (Bring Your Own Device)? Laptops? Thin clients? VDI? Will your team need a help desk? Are you using the best tools for the job or overcomplicating simple processes? I’ll assess your organization’s structure and roles to determine the most efficient remote setup.
Whether it’s selecting the right technology stack, integrating what you have, ensuring scalability, or aligning your logistics with your remote team’s workflow, I’ll help you assess and deploy tools that meet your needs while remaining flexible for future growth.
Remote communication is vastly different from in-office, but that doesn’t mean lower standards and professionalism when it comes to communication, engagement, and collaboration. Actually in many cases you can improve upon the old office models.
I’ll help you choose the right tools, not set proper expectations, train workers on basic skills to handle easily solvable IT issues, and create an overall strategy for success.
It’s crucial to get this part right.
How will you handle device security in a remote environment? Will you implement virtual desktops, VPNs, or cloud services? When was the last time your organization had phishing, deep fakes, or any kind of security training? What about compliance requirements?
I will collaborate with your existing team and compliance officer to develop a comprehensive plan that ensures your organization operates securely and responsibly.
Remote work success starts at the top. Leaders can’t effectively lead a remote-savvy organization if they’re not savvy themselves. I’ll work with you to develop the skills necessary to lead by example, support struggling team members, and identify the right talent in interviews.
We’ll cover everything from fostering a culture of trust to creating accountability in your remote or hybrid environment.
Just because a job can be done remotely, that doesn’t mean the workers are capable of doing it remotely.
The office is a secure, controlled environment, while remote work is an uncontrolled, unsecure environment. Untrained workers pose a significant security threat to the organization and drain resources needed to keep them productive.
Trained workers have higher productivity, less downtime, and allow you to streamline support staff who can concentrate on issues that need advanced expertise.
We’ll work together to ensure that your team is best prepared with the tools and guidance they need for success.
I also offer a Remote Skills Coaching.
Establishing clear remote or hybrid work policies is essential for setting expectations, ensuring employees follow correct protocols, understand their responsibilities, and helping you attract the right talent.
Once we’ve addressed all the behind-the-scenes logistics, we’ll craft a comprehensive remote work policy that fosters accountability and supports your team’s success.
Remote work consulting can be as flexible as your needs. From a 1-hour video chat to a longer, full-time engagement
Longer engagements generally include a simple contract outlining the details of the engagement, responsibilities, and deliverables.
It's impossible to price without knowing more about your organization, and timeline to going fully remote or hybrid. Let's talk!
