Content: 24 year old girl working in 20 countries in 5 years sharing 4 financial management tips for being a “digital nomad ”
Personal Value Added 21: 30 2023 / 06 / 10

Share:
Remote work during the pandemic made home-based work or digital nomad popular, and Canadian schoolgirl Daniella Pashuk became a digital nomad five years ago.
At that time, the new crown had not yet broken out, and only at the age of 19, she entered an online university and began working full-time while traveling.
The term “digital nomads ” refers to people who travel freely while working remotely on the Internet.
They usually have the least material possessions. They work online using computers or smartphones in temporary homes, hotels, cafes, public libraries, shared offices or motorhomes. They often move between different countries and regions, and work as programmers, designers, writers, translators, etc.
“I can go where I want to go and do what I want in different countries.
It changed the trajectory of my life, "she told CNBC.
Pashuk, 24, has traveled to more than 20 countries in five years and is a freelance writer whose monthly income fluctuates.
“My monthly income ranges from $2,500 to $3,500 … Some months I travel as a family nanny, so I don ’ t have to pay any accommodation fees. ”
It also means that she has to plan her finances with extra care, although she can travel and work whenever she wants.
“You have to accept a little bit of unpredictability … each month looks different because you ’ re often in different regions, in different currencies, with different spending, so forecasting is a challenge, ” she says.
Extremes like “spending 600 euros last month and 3,000 euros the next month, ” Pashuk recalls.
To be a digital nomad, she says, it ’ s important to keep your finances in good shape because you have to fund the lifestyle you really want.
She shared four financial tips for being a digital hobbyist with CNBC.
Decide what kind of digital nomad you want to be
Pashuk says that what type of digital nomad you want to be will determine your situation.
The first type is people who change places frequently, going to a new place every one to two weeks.
She was in this state for almost two years at one time, but then stopped doing it because she found it was too stressful for her.
This can quickly become expensive, she said, as there is a big chance of problems with each move, such as high ticket prices, train cancellations and other extra costs.
Now she ’ s a “Slow Digital Nomad ” who stays in one place for at least a month or as long as her visa allows.
Pashuk says this helps the budget because the budget is fixed for months, and you stay in the same place and still spend the same things.
In addition, building an affordable “base camp ” can go a long way, providing some stability.
Currently, Pashuk has a “headquarters ” in Montenegro, but also works in different places:“ I still travel every month, but I have a place to come back. ”
She has to spend at least a certain amount each month, such as paying rent in Montenegro, but it has little impact on the total expenditure.
2. Use the correct debit card
When Pashuk started out as a digital nomad, having a stable and reliable cash flow was a huge challenge.
Her Canadian bank account has been locked because she is constantly changing locations, which the bank thinks is a bit suspicious.
So she was forced to call the bank all the time.
In addition, when you use a Canadian card to withdraw money from a local ATM, the offshore transaction fee is also considerable.
“Sometimes I lose $30 to $40 every time I withdraw cash, and if you have to withdraw it multiple times, you lose a lot of money. ”
Two years ago, she switched to a multi-currency debit card, which allowed her to top up and withdraw cash in the currency she wanted. Pashuk said she saved her freelance earnings into the card and took it to more than 20 countries without any problems.
29-year-old nurse earns 1.5 million a year travelling the world: seizing the opportunity of high pay and working only nine months a year
3.
Do full research.
She said that as a digital traveller, in the process of moving to a workplace, it is really important to do adequate research.
To figure out the average local prices, determine if they fit your budget, and find the average prices for Airbnb apartments, food, and other essentials.
Before going somewhere, Pashuk always makes a small table of the items needed for life.
“You never know what unknowns might creep up and steal your money. ”
For example, public transport can be prohibitively expensive in some countries. People often don ’ t think of this, Pashuk shares, because public transport is always cheap where you ’ re staying. “But I went to London and it cost a lot more than I thought, up to $20 a day. ”
Pay close attention to tax requirements
Pashuk also regularly keeps an eye on the latest tax requirements of different countries to ensure that a stay in one country is not long enough to be considered a tax resident.
"I just don't want to deal with it," she said. "Canada's taxes are enough for me."
If you ’ re considering becoming a “slow-moving digital traveller, ” Pashuk suggests studying digital traveller visas, as they typically offer tax relief — and some even complete exemption.
The more you travel, the more accurate you can predict how much you will spend, she says.
“Where you can cut costs, you have to be a little smart.
Being financially proficient is definitely a good thing in the long run and can keep you moving forward. ”

Content: Here’s How You Can Do Good As A Digital Nomad

by Femina Travel | Sep 29, 2023, 20:38 IST

Being a digital nomad can be great for the remote worker but, with the right attitude, you can do good for others too

Not everyone loves digital nomads. Although so many countries across the world now offer special visas for digital nomads (Dubai, Colombia,  Estonia, Bermuda, Portugal, Spain, Croatia and Cayman Islands, to name just a few), they often get a bad rap from local residents. They believe that digital nomads push housing costs higher and out of reach of the locals, and strain the community by just ‘dropping’ into places rather than trying to fit into the fabric of society at their new temporary homes. It is an undeniable fact, however, that foreign workers can infuse a financial boost into the arm of the host country, and it works out well for them because living costs are usually lower than in their home country.

How can digital nomads do good rather than spark suspicion in their new home areas? Here are simple ways to consider if you want your impact to be positive, and your being there actually being good for the local community:

  • Spend Money To Benefit Local Businesses

Prioritise shopping in smaller local shops rather than at big supermarkets, eat in non-touristy restaurants alongside locals, and tip delivery and cleaning people generously.

  • Engage In An Intellectual Exchange

If you have transferable skills as part of your job description, it would be great to help locals in whatever capacity you can. A healthy exchange of ideas can spur local entrepreneurship and potentially improve the lives of the people amid whom you live.

  • Volunteer In Your Free Time

There’s no better way to get under the skin of a new destination – here, your new home for a period of time – than by offering the help you can. Perhaps you could offer to help local kids with spoken English, or give some time to a nearby soup kitchen.

  • Be Social

Don’t spend all your time working in your home. The point of working away from home is that you live in another place. Go out and immerse yourself in life outside; once your neighbours and people in the locality realise that you’re friendly, they, too, will get more used to you and less resentful of your presence in their midst. Keeping to yourself is an invitation to be isolated. Don’t let your reticence be misinterpreted as arrogance. Embrace your new temporary home country and, in time,  you will go a long way in overturning suspicions against digital nomads.

Good morning,

Picture a couple holding hands, strolling along a snowy street in Tokyo lined with cherry blossom trees. Soon, OpenAI will be able to bring that scene to life.

OpenAI, the company behind ChatGPT, released its latest generative AI model called Sora, which can create videos up to a minute long from a simple text prompt. The company posted the video that the technology came up with from the Tokyo description on X, along with several others.

Sora doesn’t have a release date yet, and OpenAI said it is being “adversarially” tested by experts in areas like misinformation, hateful content and bias. It’s the latest offering from the Microsoft-backed AI company, including a new feature it’s testing that will allow ChatGPT to memorize users’ voices and previous chats.

Lastly, a quick programming note: the Forbes Daily will take a day off on Monday for Presidents Day. We’ll see you back in your inbox Tuesday and hope you have a restful holiday weekend.

BREAKING NEWS

Egypt is setting up a camp near its border with Gaza as a contingency for a potential exodus of Palestinians from the enclave if Israel goes ahead with a ground offensive on Rafah, the border region where more than half of Gaza’s population is taking refuge, Reuters reported. Egypt is reportedly preparing a “desert area with some basic facilities” to shelter potential refugees as a “temporary and precautionary measure,” but is hopeful that ceasefire talks can prevent such an exodus.

A U.S. Navy official revealed on CBS News’ “60 Minutes” that Iranian Revolutionary Guard troops are working on the ground with Houthi rebels in Yemen, providing assistance to the group that has escalated attacks on U.S. military targets in the region and shipping vessels in the Red Sea. The bombshell revelation comes as U.S. forces step up counter-measures amid fears of an escalating Middle Eastern conflict.

BUSINESS + FINANCE

Shake Shack’s stock surged Thursday after the burger chain smashed expectations for its quarterly financial results, sending shares to their highest level in more than two years. Shake Shack’s stock is up more than 30% year-to-date, as investors have been hungry for publicly traded restaurant chains.

A Michigan woman was arrested for stealing over 1,000 luxury items valued at $823,000 from at least three fashion rental subscription websites and then reselling them online. When the companies tried to charge 42-year-old Brandalene Horn for the stolen items, she either canceled the credit or debit card she had provided or disputed the charge, the criminal complaint states. The case illustrates how even an inexperienced fraudster can create a large issue for the $1.1 trillion ecommerce industry.

Wells Fargo’s stock rose more than 7% at times Thursday afternoon after regulators closed a consent order placed on the bank for its fake accounts scandal, which has remained a black eye for the company. The bank came under fire by regulators in 2016 after it was revealed Wells Fargo had created millions of accounts for customers without their consent, but the OCC said the bank had improved on its risk management and oversight of its sales practices.

WEALTH + ENTREPRENEURSHIP

Barbara Picower, whose late husband profited more than any other individual from Bernie Madoff’s $64 billion Ponzi scheme, is one of the country’s 25 biggest philanthropists, with lifetime giving estimated by Forbes at $3.15 billion. Over a dozen years through 2022, Barbara injected $4.2 billion from Jeffry’s estate into the JPB Foundation she launched, which has primarily funded medical research, poverty alleviation and environmental issues.

TECH + INNOVATION

Trillion-dollar chipmaker Nvidia has invested in over two dozen companies over the last two years, through both its venture capital arm Nventures and broader corporate development team. Many of the biggest companies in tech have their own venture capital vehicles, including Alphabet, Microsoft and Salesforce. But Nvidia is relatively new to the game, and can in some ways offer benefits beyond those of a traditional venture capital firm, portfolio companies said.

Red hot AI startup LangChain publicly released its first paid product Thursday to a waitlist of tens of thousands, which helps programmers building on top of large language models like OpenAI’s GPT-4 better track and test their underlying code. For companies trying to graduate from building nifty AI prototypes to large-scale, production-ready apps that can move the needle for their business, such visibility and control has proven a stumbling block, according to CEO Harrison Chase.

Startup Higharc has raised $53 million to improve the old-school industry of homebuilding: His company’s software allows developers to design homes in 3D computer renderings and lets buyers make changes to those computerized models based on their choices in real time. Making the process go faster and easier could also, at least in theory, make homes more affordable.

MONEY + POLITICS

The White House says Russia has obtained a “troubling” anti-satellite weapon that is not currently operational, seemingly confirming a warning issued by House Intelligence Committee chairman Mike Turner (R-Ohio) that the U.S. was facing a “serious national security threat” involving Russia. But Turner faced backlash from members of his own party, who questioned his motives for issuing the warning, as lawmakers work to pass an aid package to support Ukraine.

MORE: Russia dismissed House GOP warnings that Moscow is planning to put nuclear weapons in space, claiming the reports are a political ruse orchestrated by the White House to pressure Congress into releasing funds for Ukraine amid continued Republican opposition.

Shares of Digital World Acquisition Corp., the firm intending to take former President Donald Trump’s social media venture public, surged Thursday following an announcement the reverse merger will finally move forward to the next crucial step. The publicly traded blank-check company and Trump Media & Technology Group, the parent firm of Trump’s Truth Social platform, said late Tuesday they intend to announce a Digital World shareholder vote on a merger which would result in Trump Media’s direct listing on the Nasdaq stock exchange.

SPORTS + ENTERTAINMENT

French soccer star Kylian Mbappé plans to leave Paris Saint-Germain on a free transfer when his contract expires this summer, and he is widely expected to join Real Madrid. The 25-year-old’s exit will mark the end of PSG’s so-called super-team era, which was anchored by the star-studded trio of Mbappé, Neymar Jr. and Lionel Messi.

British singer-songwriter Rod Stewart has sold his music rights to Iconic Artists Group in a deal worth almost $100 million, making him the latest artist to cash in on his catalog. Iconic Artists Group also owns assets of artists like Cher, Nat King Cole and Dean Martin, and is among the investors buying into the idea that 20th century superstars will continue to have an enduring appeal and their music, likeness and other assets will be profitable for years to come.

DAILY COVER STORY

The Serial Entrepreneur Who Doesn’t Need To Be First To Win

TOPLINE San Francisco-based Pulley, the most visible challenger to scandal-scarred Carta and a newcomer to this year’s Forbes Fintech 50 list, is pouncing on the niche market for cap table management software.

Serial entrepreneur Yin Wu isn’t at all intimidated by the fact that she entered the cap table game seven years after market leader Carta. She’s gambling that you don’t necessarily have to be first to win the long game.

“When Stripe was getting started, it wasn’t the first payment processor. Braintree, Amazon Pay and Paypal all existed,” says Wu. “But when you talked to folks that were actually using any of these payment networks, it wasn't like they had such an amazing experience on these platforms. It was more like, ‘well, this is kind of what exists.’”

For now, Pulley still lives in the long shadow of Carta, which has 40,000 customers and was valued at $7.4 billion during its last fundraising round in August 2021.

Pulley, for its part, has $50 million in funding from Stripe, Founders Fund and angel investors including Elad Gil, Jack Altman and Avichal Garg, Wu’s husband, and the company notched a $250 million valuation in its Series B round in October 2022.

But Wu insists Pulley’s fundraising modeling technology is superior, helping founders understand exactly how much their stakes would be diluted by complex early-stage funding structures and what control they may be signing away should they offer to give away pro rata shares or “most favored nation” status to attract early investors. She also highlights Pulley’s offer letter tool which seamlessly tracks equity grants to new hires on the cap table and facilitates the logistics of getting offers approved by the board and sending out option grants.

Pulley charges customers $1,200 per year for its lowest-priced tier that can track up to 25 stakeholders. A growth tier for $3,500 annually includes up to 40 stakeholders and yearly 409A valuations (fair market valuations needed for tax purposes). Many customers are on custom pricing plans for more advanced features.

Pulley expects to triple in revenue this year and bring in tens of millions of dollars in 2024.

WHY IT MATTERS “As venture-backed companies stay private for longer, serving their needs is becoming big business,” says Forbes staff writer Hank Tucker. “For more than a decade, Carta has been Silicon Valley startups’ go-to option for tracking ownership, managing fundraising and granting equity to stakeholders, but thanks to Pulley’s emergence, founders have more choices now. Yin Wu is betting there’s enough room for more than one dominant company in the space and hopes its majority market share among prestigious Y Combinator companies will soon translate to the rest of the industry.”

A Guide for College Students Embracing the Digital Nomad Lifestyle

A digital nomad is someone who works remotely and travels often. Their work doesn’t require them to report to an office or adhere to a strict schedule. Instead, they can work anywhere in the world, doing the job they love.

It’s no wonder this lifestyle is appealing more to college students. They can travel the world while studying and working abroad. That said, being a college student and a digital nomad is a challenge. It’s not like a vacation where all you have to worry about is enjoying yourself.

You have to learn how to balance the fun of traveling with work and school commitments. The following tips will help you do just that.

Understand What the Digital Nomad Lifestyle Will Be Like

You have to understand what the digital nomad lifestyle will be like if you want it to work out. You can assess whether this life is for you, and better prepare for it if you decide that it is.

Here are some critical points to consider about the digital nomad lifestyle:

  • A work-life balance is a must
  • Traveling often can be exhausting
  • You must ensure access to healthcare
  • You need a plan for financial stability
  • You’ll have to adapt to new cultures and languages
  • Knowing visa requirements and other legal requirements is essential
  • You might experience homesickness, especially if you go international
  • Balancing school with work and life in a new place is a big commitment

Dig into these factors and research all you’ll have to do and give up to be a digital nomad. Then, you can make an informed decision about moving forward.

Master Time Management

You’ll have to take your time management up a few notches if you want to be a digital nomad.

It’s one thing to balance life and school. It’s another to balance life, school, traveling, and potentially, work. You must learn how to divide your days so that you pay each of these things the attention they need. In addition, time management will ensure you don’t burn out.

Start with a routine to build some consistency into your days. Wake up at the same time regardless of your schedule and get ready for your days the same way.

You can establish priority tasks the night before, like your classes, if you’re working, and when you’ll study. Set aside time for breaks, meals, and leisure time as well. Building these activities into your schedule will ensure you actually do them.

Attach times to each task and activity. For example, you have classes from 8 a.m. to 12 p.m. Next, you’ll have lunch from 12 p.m. to 1 p.m. After that, you have work from 1:30 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. Then, you’ll study from 7 p.m. to 8:30 p.m., and the rest of the night is yours.

Manage your time wisely and you can achieve everything you set out for each day.

Learn How to Stay Productive

One of the biggest challenges digital nomads run into is staying productive. All of the fun activities you can do when you travel to a new place can be distracting. It might be hard to stay motivated when you’re homesick. Technical and logistical issues can impact your productivity as well.

So, learning how to maintain peak productivity while studying and working on the road is essential.

Adhering to the routine we mentioned above will help keep you focused. Eliminate distractions while working by turning your phone on Do Not Disturb and muting social media apps. Create a designated workspace. You could also incentivize productivity by promising yourself a fun activity after you complete your work.

Secure your tech setup as well to maintain optimal productivity. Make sure you have the basics, like a good laptop set up with the proper work and school software and noise-canceling headphones.

Another crucial tool to have is a mobile hotspot. A hotspot ensures you can connect to the internet wirelessly on your mobile devices from virtually anywhere. This will come in handy when you travel internationally or to places with spotty internet connections. No matter where you are, you can still access your studies and any work you’re doing online.

Equip yourself with the right tools and techniques to stay productive as a digital nomad.

Choose Work That Aligns With Your Studies and Interests

Digital nomads are known to take many different directions with their work. You have options and can easily make a living while studying and traveling abroad. The key is ensuring the work you do doesn’t distract from your education and pull you away from who you are.

You’ll have a much better experience as a digital nomad if you choose work that aligns with your studies and interests. Rather than taking the barista job at the local cafe, work with your school to see if there are any work-study opportunities where you’re traveling.

You can also take the job search into your own hands. Search for job openings before you head to your destination through online job boards. Ask for referrals from fellow students.

Consider fully remote positions as well. There are many work-from-home jobs available that can accommodate a college student’s digital nomad lifestyle, such as being a tutor or a content writer for subjects related to your major.

Whatever work you decide to do, make sure it doesn’t take away from your studies and aligns with who you are and what you want to be.

Conclusion

Many college students are attracted to the digital nomad lifestyle because it allows them to travel freely while studying and working where they want to. As enticing as this life is, being a digital nomad isn’t void of challenges.

Make sure you understand what you’re getting into, master time management, learn to stay productive, and choose work that aligns with your studies and interests to give yourself a real chance at a successful digital nomad life.

Kate, 24, who worked as an occupational therapist for a year after graduating from college, found that she did not like working in fixed locations and hours, and wanted the freedom to travel while working as a digital nomad.
She is interested in cryptocurrency, so she turned to web3.0, engaged in marketing, operation of blockchain projects and other work, usually through online communication with colleagues.
"Web 3.0 is a more international company, with employees from all over the world, most of them do not have a physical office, and many times employees can only choose to work remotely."
It ’ s like living three or four different lives.
Every time she goes to different places to participate in seminars, and after completing her work, she will stay there for 1-2 weeks, traveling all over Japan, Thailand, Australia, Singapore, France, etc. Although she is a full-time employee, she has no fixed office hours, sometimes she does not need to turn on the computer all day, she can go sightseeing, sometimes she needs to meet and meet constantly. Bring a computer, wired headphones and plenty of mobile data.
When I tried to watch animals in the Australian zoo, I suddenly had a meeting; I suddenly had to deal with work on the way to shopping in Korea, and the store has been closed for seven or eight years, which is completely different from the excellent nomadic life I imagined.
Kate, who often hangs "work first" and "have self-discipline to have freedom", admits that even the beauty of the current can not be completely relaxed and appreciated, "I think you can not because your work location is not in a fixed place, and people feel unprofessional; it should make people believe that you can complete the work wherever you are, and there is quality, and no need for others to adapt, so as to maintain this way of life for a long."
Digital nomads have bitterness and sweetness, but both say they can ’ t go back after they set foot on this road.
Read this year Kristie published in the book fair, from the nomad, to find the heart of the sea ", she met on the road only two seasons of American couples, with children wandering the world of nomadic families, Lin Lin's total lifestyle has brought her a shock," I know in Hong Kong, many of them are a life to the end, but in the nomad meet them, I ’ ve lived three or four different lives, ” and there are fascinating stories in each life.
Embark on a nomadic journey to open Second Life, their book of life, and add a few unforgettable experiences.

Content: As most of us have adjusted to the new normal of remote work, being productive seems like an impossible challenge at times with all of the distractions that come from home life. Thankfully for most, the kids have gone back to school, but that doesn’t take away from the cooking, cleaning and home affairs that are often staring you in the face daily as you work through your work to-do list.

It’s natural to still be adjusting nearly two years later. A number of remote-work arrangements were implemented suddenly, leaving employees and managers alike to navigate a new work reality alongside personal anxieties and concerns about the public health crisis. And with so many companies planning a completely remote work structure moving forward, there’s still the added feelings of being distracted, isolated, unmotivated and even stressed, while still trying to stay productive at home.

Looking to supercharge your productivity? Easier said than done, right? Here are a few tips to help you maximize your productivity while at home.

Plan your day ahead.

Because of all the competing demands trying to navigate home, social and work life, it’s imperative to spend time prioritizing what needs to get done. According to Attentiv, the average employee spends 13 hours per week on emails alone. If email is the first thing you do every day, it’s going to suck up all of your time — time you’re better off using elsewhere. What helps me, is setting my intention on Sunday nights, so I know everything that I need to accomplish for the week. It’s as simple as taking pen to paper, and once a task is completed, crossing it off and moving to the next one.

Meal prep.

Loading the player...

Meal prepping can save you a lot of time and hassle in your week, plus it helps to boost productivity levels. Not to mention, a well-thought-out meal plan can help you improve your diet quality or reach a specific health goal while saving you time and money along the way. But if you’re like me, actually finding the time to meal prep with a demanding work and social schedule often doesn’t allow me to do so. That’s why meal prep and pre-packaged meal companies such as Hello Fresh and Daily Harvest have been life savers to stay healthy and save time. You don’t have to overthink, and the food is clean, delicious and convenient.

Set a schedule, and stick to it.

Having clear guidelines for when to work and when to call it a day helps many remote workers maintain work-life balance. The more time that’s spent on formal meetings, the less time there is for employees’ other responsibilities or for more-beneficial informal interactions with managers and colleagues.

Focus on three big tasks a day.

I once took a leadership training that emphasized the importance of tackling little rocks vs. big rocks. The big rocks are the larger tasks that take up the most time, and are critical to your success, while the little rocks are the day to day tasks such as emails, meetings, etc. While both are extremely important, it’s easy to get caught up in the inevitable day-to-day emergencies, but it’s important to remember your larger goals. One of the best ways I do this is by focusing on getting three big tasks done every day. Write these goals at the top of your list and schedule your day around them. This helps me to avoid working on smaller tasks and to focus on more needle-moving work.

Practice self-care.Black women: It’s important to know that living life in this perpetual state of action and achievement isn’t sustainable. This ultimately does more harm than good. Your mental state plays a huge role in how productive you are on a day-to-day basis. No matter how free your schedule is, if you’re feeling overwhelmed or stressed, it’s like still not going to get done — or well, at least. And self-care doesn’t just mean massages and bubble baths. It can be as simple as taking a few minutes to meditate, or ensuring you’re getting enough sleep each night. In fact, one study found that workers who reported insomnia or insufficient sleep spent three times as long on time management throughout the day as workers who reported quality sleep. The sleep-deprived workers also reported difficulties with motivation, focus, memory, and decision-making. That’s why a few key moments carved out for self-care will prove to be majorly beneficial in the long run.

Below, 20 Forbes Human Resources Council members discuss the strategies, tools and best practices for managing remote work operations. Follow their recommendations to help your company not only navigate but thrive amidst the challenges of having a distributed team.

1. Connect Employees Cross-Functionally

HR can create moments that matter by connecting employees with each other cross-functionally. Pair people together with get-to-know-you questions and calendar it. Be sure to create career mobility programs and mentoring programs that include both remote and onsite employees. By creating connection, you create belonging. - Cat Colella-Graham

2. Understand One Size Does Not Fit All

Being intentional in supporting all ways of work is paramount. Understanding that one size does not fit all will be the key to successfully creating work environments that support and enable people to contribute and grow. Leveraging technology and communication channels and developing trust through regular and frequent connection sets the table for meaningful development, coaching and performance. - Maria Miletic

3. Invest In Robust Digital Infrastructure

HR can enhance remote work efficiency by investing in robust digital infrastructure, providing virtual collaboration tools and fostering a strong sense of connection among remote teams. Regular check-ins, training on digital tools and promoting work-life balance contribute to a successful remote work environment. - Rick Hammell, Atlas

4. State Expectations Clearly And Ensure Communications Channels Are Accessible

A remote work policy must be clear to all with expectations stated, and clear communication channels and support systems must be accessible. Work tools proficiency must be ensured, so performance will be more focused on the achievement of objectives. These tools should have well-being modules so that work-life integration can be achieved to avoid burnout and mental health issues due to isolation and long hours of work. - Kunbi Adeoti, Leadway Group

5. Possess Skills Like Communication And Empathy

To manage remote employees effectively, it is essential that managers possess specific skills, such as advanced communication, empathy and understanding of health and safety regulations.

6. Provide Tools, Training And Resources

HR can support both employees and management by providing tools, training and resources and by encouraging the company to focus on goals and accountability via a solid performance framework. - Tracy Cote, StockX

7. Invest In Your Leaders

Investing in your leaders and how they can effectively hold one-on-ones with their direct reports is the best way to ensure safe spaces are built on the individual level. Manager-employee relationships are key to making people feel a part of a collective. This also gives managers an opportunity to channel any feedback from the employee in the remote workplace to HR. - Halai Shukran, Pluribus Digital

8. Establish Predictable And Consistent Communications Forums

9. Hold Regular Conversations With Managers

Not all challenges in a digital world have a digital solution. HR should have regular conversations with managers, approaching them with curiosity to better explore the root causes of the issue. This allows for effective troubleshooting to find the right solution(s), from training to revisiting the scheduling arrangements of a team, to meet operational and organizational needs. - Jennifer Rozon, McLean & Company

10. Implement Performance Management Programs

Implement performance management programs where goals are clear and easily tracked. Concern about productivity is one of managers' biggest worries when it comes to remote work.

11. Set Up A Clear Channel For New Hires To Ask Questions

Set up clear avenues for people, especially new hires, to ask questions about their roles and responsibilities. Whether in-person or remote, what employees want is clarity on how they can do their jobs and what it takes to succeed. In a remote environment, pathways to information can be hidden, so bring those forward by setting up channels, partnerships or meetings that invite conversation. - Ursula Mead, InHerSight

12. Commit To The Resources Needed To Engage Efficiently

It has to be intentional. Organizations have to commit strategically, financially and intentionally to the resources needed to engage efficiently in the digital world. This can be done through investment in the right platform, along with dedicated rewards in place to promote this behavior. - Omar Alhadi, Adobe Population Health

13. Add A Demographic Option To Field To Surveys

We have added a demographic field of in-office, hybrid and full remote to our employee surveys. This is one way we are able to look at sentiment differences and similarities across the various work arrangements as we monitor employee engagement and employee sentiment across various topics. - Amy Casciotti, TechSmith Corporation

14. Embrace Asynchronous Communication

In remote work, wellness check-ins unveil hidden stress, ensuring team health beyond tasks. Embrace asynchronous communication for global inclusivity to ease response stress. Shift performance metrics to value results not just hours logged. Foster unity in remote teams by involving them in decision-making, enhancing engagement and efficacy. - Katrina Jones, Acacia Network

15. Rely On Virtual Mentoring Programs

HR leaders can lean on virtual mentoring programs to meaningfully connect remote employees. In a digital world, mentoring is a chance for remote employees to build connections, network with peers and protect themselves from feeling isolated. As a bonus, mentoring programs have an outsized impact on collaboration, employee development and productivity. - Matthew Reeves, Together Software

16. Ensure Teams Are Communicating Effectively

The key to supporting and managing remote work arrangements is to ensure teams are communicating effectively. Video conferencing and messaging platforms have become essential for remote workers. When the right tools are paired with clear expectations set by management and regular one-on-ones to track employees’ progress, teams can be productive, regardless of where they work. - John Feldmann, Insperity

17. Focus On Clear Communication, Regular Check-Ins And Virtual Meetings

Managers should focus on clear communication, regular check-ins and virtual meetings that will help remote team members feel connected to each other and valued within the company. Establishing clear expectations and performance metrics tailored for a remote work setting is key to an environment where both managers and employees feel that they are efficient and productive. - Laura Spawn, Virtual Vocations, Inc.

18. Foster Collaboration Through Digital Platforms

Foster effective communication and collaboration through various digital channels or platforms. This includes not only work-related meetings but also virtual social interactions to maintain team cohesion, connection and organizational culture. - Lisa Shuster, iHire

19. Implement Digital Communication Tools, Provide Training And Support Mental Health

By implementing digital communication tools, providing training on remote work, setting clear expectations, providing support for mental health and well-being, ensuring data security and conducting regular performance reviews, HR can help remote employees remain productive, motivated and engaged. With these solutions, remote work can be a great success that benefits employees and organizations. - Reema Akhtar, Seer Solutions

20. Set Expectations For Communicating Efficiently

Set expectations for communication so remote workers understand how to communicate efficiently. Especially if not everyone on the team is entirely remote, employees and their teams benefit from guidelines that lay out when remote workers should be accessible, how often they should communicate with their managers and which platforms are best suited to different communications. - Niki Jorgensen, Insperity
