We can’t deny it any longer—distributed work is here to stay. But this new reality of distributed teams has put a lot of weight on managers’ shoulders, as they’re now responsible for establishing a sustainable work culture and community while working apart from their employees. 

So what should leaders keep in mind in order to stay close to their teams in a distributed environment? To find out, we met with Julie Jeannotte, Senior HR Expert and Researcher at employee engagement platform Officevibe

Julie views this new responsibility as a huge opportunity to build a future of work that feels more human. Leaders of distributed teams are now looking to connect and engage with their teams in a more meaningful and collaborative way.

“We must ask ourselves this question: how can we, as a company, fit the way we operate into people's lives, and not the other way around?”

For Julie, this means leaving hustle culture in the past and making room for work-life synergy and wellbeing. She recommends managers allow employees to play an active role in developing employee experience programs and share the responsibility to drive engagement, culture, and performance as a team.

Hear what Julie has to say about employee experience in the distributed future.

About the Author

The rich text element allows you to create and format headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, images, and video all in one place instead of having to add and format them individually. Just double-click and easily create content.

Static and dynamic content editing

A rich text element can be used with static or dynamic content. For static content, just drop it into any page and begin editing. For dynamic content, add a rich text field to any collection and then connect a rich text element to that field in the settings panel. Voila!

Headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, figures, images, and figure captions can all be styled after a class is added to the rich text element using the "When inside of" nested selector system.
