Unique demands call for unique solutions
OLX is a company that aims to ”build leading destinations for buying, selling, and exchanging products and services, used by over 300 million people every month”. When they turned to Remote-how they were looking for an answer on how to best prepare their stuff to work remotely.
The company had 3 main challenges to tackle:
- Reducing the amount of time leaders had been spending on meetings
- Improving the quality of digital collaboration between their teams
- Building a transparent company culture which is remote-first
Recommendation from Remote-how
As suggested by Remote-how, OLX decided to take parallel paths and enroll their employees in:
- Certified in Distributed Management (CiDM) – an online training program dedicated for distributed team leaders
- Certified Remote Individual (CRI) – a training course for individual employees working in a remote environment
Implementation in numbers
- 3 live webinars with Remote-how Experts, including interactive Q&A sessions
- 2 hands-on workshops with Remote-how Experts
- 6 weeks took the whole program to complete
- 102 employees in total participating in training: 60 in CiDM and 42 in CRI
- 3 hours a week – a maximum time investment needed to complete the live course
- 18h of bite-sized video content, which enabled the employees to fit the training in their own schedules
A sense of community
Live sessions gave OLX employees a chance to participate in cross-team learning collaboration.
They were also able to interact with one another and share their experience throughout the whole training period thanks to the access to the Remote-how platform which had a very positive impact on employee experience and engagement.
The final results
- 69% of all who completed the CiDM program, became certified!
- The top rated lesson from all modules was “Discover Your Remote Teams’ Motivations and Keep Them Motivated!” with NPS as high as 59
