How to turn the remote working disruption into an opportunity for your startup - ft. Charles Ferguson from Globalization Partners
Description
Charles Ferguson is the General Manager APAC for Globalization Partners, a global company originally based in the US allowing its clients to hire talents anywhere in the world within a few days.
In this fascinating discussion, you will learn the best tips to recruit and manage your team in the future of work.
Since the pandemic, global workforce has switched remotely allowing people to avoid commute and to enjoy a better life quality in secondary areas. As a company and especially a startup, it is also now possible to get the best talents from anywhere in the world, as long as you successfully adapt your policy, processes and rules in a flexible way to your remote staff. For example, an hybrid environment with face-to-face meetings is absolutely crucial according to Charles, to keep the human link within a team. Founders and managers also need to understand that “the future is empowerment of choice” as not everybody is keen to go fully remote.
Charles also explains that the remote disruption needs new talent skills, to be watched by both recruiters and applicants: Determination, Insights, Curiosity & Engagement.
His main advice for companies and managers for 2021: “Always be hiring, always be after having the conversation, always be looking for key types of talents and connect with them because you never know when that might manifest to create an opportunity for a particular market”. Plus other golden pieces of advice for your expansion in any new market.
