My guest today is Liam Martin - and this is a conversation about a topic that is near & dear to my heart - remote work. Liam is one of the world’s foremost experts on remote work, having started a remote-only company more than a decade before it became cool to do so. He founded Time Doctor and Staff.com, doing some tremendously impactful work around productivity for remote work before founding the Running Remote conference, a real-life, non-remote conference about remote work. Liam has seen remote work up close from its earliest days - and has also seen nearly everything there is to be seen around remote work - be it culture, tracking, productivity and growth - and this is a conversation that I’m very excited to have.
Key Highlights:
How remote work was referred to 15 years ago - and how it’s changing.
Why Liam chose remote work as a model for his business - and how he solved problems that are currently solved by tools like Zoom and Slack.
What Liam recommends as the first step for a small company that is considering going remote - and the resources he recommends. Why measurement is crucial for a remote company.
How Liam recommends setting up a remote culture for a team that is new to it
How Liam recommends approaching hiring in a remote context - and what he screens and filters for.
How a remote team’s infrastructure & processes have to change as a team grows.
The HR process that Liam’s team has built to ensure retention. The different compensation policies that are available to remote companies.
What inspired the Running Remote conference - and how Liam attracted speakers and attendees for its first edition.
