To start a company is a noble thing! To start an online company, nobler still. A distributed workforce (or even a workforce working in an online “space”) has special requirements. There are nearly endless possibilities where expansion and direction are concerned, but finding and maintaining a workforce in those environments is a task that can be made simpler through a few key components.
To be discussed:
- Finding the right “fit”- choosing candidates that can grow with you.
- Training and resource management – resource acquisition and expansion.
- Putting people in positions that allow them to excel.
- Facilitating communication, facilitating ongoing improvements.
- Data collection – what is working, what isn’t, and “why”.
- Issue resolution and workflow.
- Consistently considering “what’s next”.
