Many companies are calling teams back to the office. Here’s why we won't. Since 2020, I’ve led a fully remote team, and I’ve learned one thing: It works. → When you trust your team (and hire the right people), they focus on outcomes – not clocking in. → No commutes mean more time for important stuff like family, deep work, or rest. → Flexibility fuels happiness. Happy people perform better. Simple. → A remote-first approach lets you hire the best people, no matter where they live (small caveat – time zones are important). → Offices? Overrated. We use that budget for team experiences that actually matter. In short: Remote-first isn’t just a work style. It’s a talent magnet, a culture booster and a game-changer for productivity. What’s your take? P.S. We’re hiring. ❤️

We're hiring - in-person only, in San Francisco. Here's why that's the only way we'll do it: To me, remote vs in-office always came down to the company and its culture. If your company works better remotely, that's great. We picked in-person early, and it's paid off in some amazing ways: - There's a noticeable boost in energy - Our white boarding sessions are more productive - Our employees are friends outside the office, and they hang out together after work / on the weekends Our culture wouldn't be able to exist in the same way if we were all working remotely. But all this works because we pre-select for people who are bought in when we hire them. From day one, they know this is the culture - it's not forced after a remote policy was revoked. So, if remote work is what helps your company cross the chasm, that's great! For us, I wouldn't have it any other way.

One big issue with hiring remote assistants is that there's typically a 2-3 week onboarding window. I don't know about you, but I'm hiring an assistant to take RIGHT NOW items off my plate and if it takes 3 weeks for someone to figure that out, I'm not hiring them! This is what I want: We'll go temp for 90 days to try it out and then we'll go full perm. Sound good? Okay then, here's what I need done, can you start right now and if so what questions do you have about that list? It should be that easy but it never is for some reason.

I think it is a good idea to consider having very new employees (first year/new grads) report to an office part-time. 😬 There, I said it. I am a passionate advocate of granting all applicable employees the choice of working remotely (or not). So my statement above might be met with a raised eyebrow or two. 🤔 Having worked 23 years in tech corporate and consulting (the last 7 of those fully remote)...and having managed a couple dozen fresh professionals over the years...I do believe there is benefit to having early career employees in an office or shared space part-time. There is a lot to be learned from the nuances of how people interact, how they handle discomfort or failure, how people navigate change, get help, and communicate. 🛑 So while I stop short of saying that anyone (whose job permits it) should NOT have the option to work from home, I have seen many instances where someone starting their professional career off on an island has not been ideal. Are there ways to mitigate? Sure. One way would be regular remote working sessions, where people do their work while on an open call. Daily mentoring can also help. But I still contend that in-person interaction can be very beneficial to many who are just starting out. ⭐️ Anyone have a different experience or opinion? Does it depend (maybe on past work experience)? Am I full of poo? Come at me, bros! I can take it! #workingathome #remote #careers #bethannecampbell

Recruitment is about more than just finding the right fit. A candidate recently asked me, “Does your company trust employees to work remotely?” That question stuck with me. It’s not just about offering perks. It’s about living your values: 👉 → Do you trust your employees? 👉 → Do you respect their need for balance? 👉 → Do you create an environment where they can thrive without burning out? The future of work doesn’t rest solely on recruiters. It depends on how companies treat their teams. Here, @lemlist, 80% of the team is working remotely, and I'm still hiring 👉 https://lnkd.in/eyD34ePT

People are not just cogs in the wheel. Not just another metric. Business is human to human. I remember when my ecom journey was all grind. No help. I was knee-deep in tasks. Then I decided to hire my first remote assistant. Everything changed. We communicated over Slack for months. One day, we had a Zoom call. The dynamic shifted. Real conversations. Shared goals. Synergy. That decision transformed my business. Yes, profits matter but: → People drive those profits. → Relationships drive real growth. → Each task, each project, every client interaction counts.

What I don’t worry about as the marketing lead at a remote-first company: 1. 𝗪𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲 𝗺𝘆 𝘁𝗲𝗮𝗺 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸𝘀.   Some are just a city away, others oceans apart. What matters is skill and attitude...not location. 2. 𝗪𝗵𝗲𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝘆 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸.   Everyone has their own rhythm. Flexibility means they can grab a midday coffee, run to the doctor, or take their dog for a walk without stress. 3. 𝗧𝗿𝗮𝗰𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗵𝗼𝘂𝗿𝘀.   Honestly, I often remind the team to take time off. When you hire motivated people, they give you more than the minimum. No clock-watching required. I trust my team to deliver because I hired them for their talent and drive. We set clear, measurable goals, then focus on outcomes. They’re invested in projects that matter and are aligned with our company’s vision. At Arc, we stay connected with regular check-ins, the right tools, and occasional in-person meetups in Taipei. If you can’t trust a remote team to deliver, it might be time to rethink your metrics—or your hiring. #remotework #workfromanywhere
