Quotes:
The first thing we did was identify routine tasks that were creating stress or strain on our team members.
It doesn’t matter where they are, you have to build community. We have weekly team meetings for all of our teams, regardless of where you are.
The ultimate kind of ah-ha moment is when you start talking to everybody in your offshore team about their families and their kids. I’ve been just struck by how not-different it is from hiring someone in the United States.
What it’s done for us is given us more ideas and challenged our notion of what’s possible with resources around the globe. Either from running a 24×7 support team for our clients or really challenging our notion of what things cost and where we can get good quality work for our clients, which is really all they want.
