Building a Respectful Remote Workplace

Does Remote Work Need a Different Approach to Respect?

What do we mean by the word respect?

Respect means:

“The regard for the feelings, wishes, rights or traditions of others.“

It is to accept someone for who they are even when they are different from you.

Most companies have policies for creating respectful and non-threatening workplaces — but how do these translate to a remote workforce?

How do you ensure that remote employees’ rights are respected in an age of cameras, tracking tools, and the difficulty of switching off work?

Our goal in Building a Respectful Remote Workplace is to give you policies and guidelines to make “respect” second nature for everyone throughout your organization.

Course

Building a Respectful Remote Workplace

Apply "respect" principles that work beyond the office.

Imagine having a workplace where everyone feels heard and engaged.

What if that staffer working four hours away by plane feels on the same playing field as their office-based counterparts?

Remote and Hybrid work styles need a new approach to "respect" policies that emphasize privacy, time and sustainability.

You can achieve "remote respect" over a distance.  Are you ready?
