326 - 7 Rules for Managing a Remote Team (Updated for 2022)

We’re almost 2 years into the remote-work world imposed by the pandemic. According to NorthOne, 58.6% of the total US workforce works remotely either full- or part-time. The last time we addressed remote work on Stay Paid was in July 2020, so we thought it would be a good time to revisit the topic to discuss what we've learned and to update our list of helpful tips with 7 rules for managing a remote team. You can get more in-depth information and added details not included in the episode from our show notes at www.staypaidpodcast.com.
