REPLAY: Remote Not Distant with guest Gustavo Razzetti
Remote Not Distant
Welcome to foHRsight – a podcast about making work better brought to you by future foHRward.
We’re excited to have our first guest on this week’s episode of the foHRsight podcast – Gustavo Razzetti. Gustavo is on a mission “to help people to do the best work of their lives” and in this episode Naomi had the opportunity to chat with him about his new book Remote Not Distant.
The book provides a provides a roadmap for organizations and team that want to build a strong culture that helps team thrive in a hybrid workplace.
There were so many great take-aways from the conversation ... here is just a flavour:
- The importance of companies deciding where and when work gets done based on the work not the schedule
- The myth that collaboration has to be done in person ... not to mention Naomi’s bug bear that cultures can’t be maintained in a hybrid environment and likely need to evolve
- Proximity does not automatically lead to belonging
- The importance of discipline in creating what people really want - freedom
You can learn more about Gustavo and his work at Fearless Cultures here – https://gustavorazzetti.com/
And it’s COMPETITION TIME ... one more lucky listeners who shares a post on LinkedIn about this episode will win a signed copy of Gustavo’s excellent book! Don’t forget to tag Naomi and/or Mark!
