Welcome everyone to this episode of the Conscious Culture podcast with Sarah Riegelhuth, CEO and founder of Grow My Team!

"If the values are clear, the decisions are easier"

Today, I am joined by Steven Kapor. I met Steven through the Entrepreneurs Organization at MIT in Boston. In this episode, we talk about how he has created such a happy work environment for his remote employees.

Steven Kapor is the president of FUNDRIVER. A system that helps the non-profit community administer endowment funds in a more efficient way.

"Really it's putting employees first, over anything else, that leads to everything else working"

In this episode, we explore:

Freedom for remote workers
4/10 scheduling
Recruiting remote workers
Creating happy companies
Monitoring engagement with remote workers
The importance of having a happy team
Putting employees first
Steven's journey as a leader
Creating an effective environment for remote workers
Alignment of team values
Focusing on the "why"
Autonomy in remote work

“By working remotely, you have a lot of autonomy, and if you have good culture and good values it really facilitates being able to work autonomously”
