Why a team that worked in the office stops working at a distance

In the office a manager sees who is busy, who is stuck and who is upset. At a distance all of that is gone: there is an avatar in the chat and a task in the tracker. Meetings multiply to make up for it. New hires meet nobody. Feedback waits for a call that keeps moving. The habits of the office do not transfer by themselves, and each of them needs a replacement.

What changes after this course

You have rules for communication and meetings. Goals and results are visible without control of hours. One-on-ones are regular and have an agenda. Hiring and onboarding work without an office. You notice burnout and loss of interest early, and you know which services to use for each task.

Who is teaching

I am Mike, the #1 HR instructor on Udemy, with 1,800,000+ course enrollments from 170,000 students, and the author of about 200 books on Amazon. I built the people system at Preply as it became a unicorn and worked at Wargaming, iDeals and Alfa-Bank across 20 years in HR. I hold PHRi, SHRM-CP and HCI sHRBP certifications and represent HRCI in Eastern Europe.

I remember my first remote one-on-ones at Wargaming. My manager lived in California and rarely came to our office. I was nervous: what would he ask, and all of it in English. He ran the first meeting from his terrace, showed me his dog and asked how I was doing. I felt no pressure, and I began to prepare for these meetings and wait for them. At iDeals, where part of the company worked remotely, we brought everyone together twice a year: a week in the central office and then a few days abroad. People were glad to see colleagues they had only written to in Slack.
