Last week, we kicked off our Remote Work Playbook webinar series for small businesses running remote teams covering everything from hiring and supporting your team to technology tools and leadership during the current economic landscape.
This week’s training was Hiring and Onboarding Remote Staff in the Philippines and elsewhere.
Some of the topics and key takeaways from the training were:
- Managing Remote Teams — always treat each member like a local team to build an overall company culture.
- Hiring in the Philippines — try hiring directly through job websites for full time and long term staff members. This will not only save you on the cost of hiring from agencies but also helps you take hiring on a more personal level.
- Interviews — do interviews in multiple stages and ask scenario-based questions based on company culture to get an idea of their work attitude and values.
- Payment & Terms — pay in local currency and take on the risk of foreign exchange. Encourage your team to pay for health insurance and taxes.
- Onboarding and Training — set up Google Classroom for all your training and courses. You can easily track who is assigned to which course and if they have finished it.
Here are a few tips from an outsourcing expert Barbara Turley, Founder of The Virtual Hub, on building and managing remote teams.
