A handshake, a supporting pat on the back or a celebratory high five. All things you do working at an office. And all related to a human hormone - oxytocin being released. Promoting feelings of trust and facilitating greater collaboration among team members.
The equivalent of working remote?
Well. There is none.
You can’t compete with being face to face, in person, interacting with others.
Which is all the bigger reason for you to tripple down on your efforts of creating space and ways of working that supports connection building.
And that's the topic of this week's episode. How you double down on getting connected and forming that community when working remote.

The last couple of years due to COVID have taught us that work is something you do and not a place you come to. Right?!
Before Covid hit work and culture was much more associated to the office, certain working hours and so on.
COVID showed us that it’s about time we got rid of the notion that culture sits within the four walls of the office. It’s time that we embrace the fact that we are all living in a huge experiment where technology and what we used to call a workplace no longer have any limitations.
And knowing that, we can instead focus on human needs and wants to stay healthy, productive, creative, social, and inspired.
Therefore, today it’s all about tools and meetings. Introducing the concept of purpose and behavior first, tools second as well as how to make meetings a part of your culture nudging and feeling you belong.
So check out the episode and enjoy! If you know of anyone else wanting to learn more about remote culture building, be sure to share this episode with them!
All my best

In this week’s episode I’m walking you through the first of three pillars of remote culture building. The episode is part of a mini series and we’ll dig into different perspectives in the two weeks to come.
But today it’s aaaaall about team purpose and priorities. The very backbone of building remote culture and connections within your team.
Working remotely, perhaps not being connected every day with your colleagues, it’s even more important that you all know where you’re going and what’s the top priorities right now.
I'm introducing you to the concept of team purpose and that doing this for your team, not just settling for the company vision and purpose gives your team another layer of connection and meaning. That could also ultimately be what makes all of them think about their work as something more than just a job.
So check out the episode and enjoy! If you know of anyone else wanting to learn more about remote culture building, be sure to share this episode with them!

”He’s/she’s a bit inexperienced in dealing with that type of situation"
Have you heard it before?
The customer service, solution, or whatever the mishandled situation is, explained away with inexperience.
But you know what, that’s actually not true. It’s not their inexperience that shows. It is more often the case of the company's culture and values being too theoretical.
If you instead make your employees be surrounded by your values and vision and incorporate them into everyday activities and discussions that you have.
Well, then they’ll KNOW how to act, sell or communicate. Because the culture and values is part of everything they do. Naturally.
In this weeks podcast episode I’ll give you some pointers as to how you make your culture and values more than a paper product.

This is also a reflection of how well you work with inclusion at work. And I don't have to tell you how important a solid inclusion strategy is in your business soon joining 2023.
In fact a Deloitte survey, stated that 80% of employees consider inclusion an essential factor in choosing an employer and a whopping 30%of Millennials surveyed said they have already left a job for a more inclusive culture at another organization.
So what can you do?
Well, there’s actually a number of things you can do to make new employees feel included from the get go.
Doubling down on being inclusive from the get go is this week’s podcast 🎙 topic and I’m sharing 5 tips on how to go about doing it.
So if you need any concrete suggestions on actionable steps to make the start of your employee journey more inclusive, be sure to check it out!
In the beginning, starting a new job is less about the experience one has and more about making connections.
It’s the connections we make at work that will decide, not only our impression of our new workplace but also just how quickly we can put to use the experience we have.
Speed to productivity is often a concern for both the company and the new hire.
Therefore, in this week's episode we explore the notion of having a buddy program in place! Finding out that studies show onboarding buddies boost productivity.
Not only by the new recruit being seen and appreciated but also a successful buddy systems encourage informal learning through social interaction and observation.
And did you know that social learning like this is actually a whopping 20% of our total knowledge?
No wonder new hires with workplace buddies are 23% more satisfied with their overall onboarding experience compared to those without buddies…
Curious as to how you can set one up? We’ll then you’ll not want to miss this week’s episode for sure! As I go through the 3 DOs and one major DON’t when it comes to creating a buddy program.
We all want to work at an awesome workplace, right? But what if you're the one in charge in making it so?! Then what? Where do you begin?
One could argue that the recruitment process is the place to start and that that comes first in creating THE workplace experience. Because if that’s off, then you won’t even have a new employee to begin with, right?
But in a recruitment process the employer - employee relationships is not on equal terms yet.
Meaning, in the recruitment process, your applicants try to show off their best sides and rarely put any expectations on you as a an employer. Besides the obvious in terms of salary request and knowing more about the job and opportunities.
In this episode you'll get to know the one thing you probably don't do nearly enough but done right can improve your year over year revenue by as much as 60% and let you experience a 50% greater new hire retention.
I urge you to listen to this episode if you're even remotely interested in taking that first step into creating an awesome workplace. Learning what you're about to learn is a game changer for your business.
