    How to build a remote team that's happy, healthy, and sane

    Play Episode Listen Later Apr 23, 2020 63:05


    In the context of the global COVID-19 pandemic and its effects on the economy, we've seen many companies transitioning to remote work. Despite the many advantages that come with it, as a fully remote agency, we've seen first-hand how it can have (if you let it) a negative impact on your overall mental health and personal life. If you're going through that transition, we want to give our 2 cents and help you take care of yourself and your team. Our CEO Adrien Colombié and his wife have recorded this quick podcast episode (our first!) where they'll talk about: • The practices we've established at Flying Saucer to build a remote team that's happy, healthy, and sane. • The way we adjust our online communication to not overwhelm our employees. • And the strategies we recommend to our clients and employees to establish boundaries as remote workers.
