How has the role of HR changed when it comes to supporting remote workforces?

Company Interview with Devin, CEO of Animalz

HR at remote companies has the additional role of connecting the team in meaningful ways to prevent folks from feeling isolated, demotivated. I think this is true for leadership too.

We need to constantly be sharing our vision, purpose, to remind folks that the work they are doing matters.

I think it’s easier to feel that organically when you’re co-located in an office. On remote teams, things like regular team memos, monthly All Hands, and written updates from leads go a long way towards making the team feel more connected and therefore, motivated.
