👋 Ahoy hunters and makers,
As the world changes in times of the pandemic, businesses are having to quickly adapt, not only for their consumers but also to protect their employees. Many companies are needing to implement full work-from-home policies, and support their staff during this change.
During this time, we wanted to help by sharing some of our top tips for transitioning to a fully remote company. As we adjust to our new normal, some of these tips might outlast the lockdown as we begin to interact as teams again.
📘 In this short guide, you can find tips and tricks that can help you transition to a remote set up.
📋 + We've put together free checklists to download for the most common processes (you can find them at the end of the PDF guide)
- Remote Employee Onboarding
- Home office set up
- Transition to temporarily remote setup
- Onboarding new Slack members
- Covid-19 Employee Health Check
- Remote team building
- Boost social interactions in a remote set up
- Prepare managers for remote setup
Thanks,
Tomas from AhoyTeam
@vladojsem I would say getting rid of the habits from office environment, that everything needs to be so hands-on right away, and the concept of "asynchronous work" could be tough to understand and adopt in larger organisations.
@hellodusko thanks. it makes sense what you write - that habits need to change together with the transition. how would you motivate the employees to work in a new way?
@hellodusko@vladojsem There is a group of people that will be excited that don't need to commute, that they can spend time with their kids at home, or introverts who are happy that they don't need to be in open-space offices.
I think motivation during this crisis is difficult and probably more focused about ensuring the stability and support to employees. But once things get to normal and being remote is not "staying in quarantine at home while my kids can't go to school" I think the idea of asynchronous work if done right will be a huge motivational factor for employees.
@jamiegalbreath hey man, thanks. Friend of mine did them. Unfortunately he doesn't have an online portfolio. But, if you need some illustrations ping me on tomas @ ahoyteam.com and I'll do the intro.
@mihai_cepoi Mostly talking processes (especially in the attached checklists) and almost all tips mentioned in the book are applicable to adopt through Slack.
If you wanna go deeper on changing products and processes from office to distributed teams, I'm more than happy to show you what we're building at AhoyTeam.
@hellodusko@rowemore Thanks Rowe, illustrations are done by my friend, but all other designs from cover, to the book layout is all me. Small startup with designer being a founder has its advantages :)
@hellodusko Excellent. 1) What apps did you use? 2) how did you do the book cover mockup (so it looks like a physical book) 3) How do you do your screenshots and lay them out like that? … THANKS for answering!
@rowemore All I use is Sketch and Photoshop. Would you be interested in an article on how to launch on PH, describing even how making assets that works and proving some templates?

Will recommend this to my friend who's about to start her career in HR!
@hellodusko Absolutely yes! … I've been collecting good "social cards" (is that what you call them too?) … I mean the 1200x600 (600x300) twitter-card / og-images. Would love to see your process, you are making good ones!
Amazing! Thank you for creating such a great thing! It is especially important for the current shift in the world that affects both our private and professional lives. Of course, it also triggers effectiveness and productivity... I believe that it is still very strange for many of us to adopt on remote working-life-style... I am sure this will be an amazing guide to fit better into the current situations! ^_^ Congratulations on the launch!^_^
