In this episode of Fintech Chatter I'm joined by ex-Fintech founder now HR tech founder Mark Lewis, CEO and Co-Founder of Crewmojo. As we navigate the choppy waters of remote work and productivity, Mark offers valuable insights. We debate the challenge of managing remote workers, the shift from daily face-to-face interactions to asynchronous communication, and the importance of carving out a clear divide between work and home life.  We also ponder the role of leadership in setting clear expectations and helping to grow their teams, the disconnect between high and low performers, and even the potential of a four-day work week. Mark and I explore the evolution of performance management within hybrid work models, and how to build a mutually beneficial relationship in your organisation. We dissect the power dynamics between employers and employees, and discuss how to get work done effectively as if there was no hierarchy.  Looking at the design of a flexible work policy, we emphasise the importance of aligning individuals, teams, customers, and company, and how to negotiate in a way that benefits all parties. Join us on this insightful journey, where we rethink traditional work norms and discover new paths to productivity and satisfaction. About Mark Lewis Mark is a people focused entrepreneur with a passion and curiosity for discovering new approaches to traditional ways.
