Hi there!
We’re often saying this. If remote work isn’t working at your company, don’t blame employees — look at the managers instead. They shape the culture of each team and the workplace in countless ways, being responsible for translating company-wide strategies and goals into daily operations.
We were really surprised when we realized that there’s no study dedicated to this group yet.
That’s why we have decided to prepare the first global report focusing on managers of remote and distributed teams. Throughout this study, we want to learn what kind of struggles remote managers around the world are facing daily, and how they are dealing with them.
So, are you one of the remote managers we’re chasing after? Good!
Now that we’ve got you, we would like to ask you to fill out our survey and help us collect insightful data that we will share with you all in just a few weeks. TAKE PART IN OUR SURVEY
Best,
