Monitoring remote workers

Good morning,

If your employees feel like they're under constant scrutiny, you're less likely to retain them. More than half of workers would leave their jobs if their employer insisted on recording audio or video of them, or used facial recognition to monitor their productivity, according to a May 2022 survey by the Washington, D.C.-based business intelligence company Morning Consult.

There are multiple reasons why as a business owner you might feel the need to go all Big Brother. Perhaps your company has recently switched to remote work, so you can no longer physically observe what workers are doing all day. But such surveillance-style monitoring is not the answer. Read on for more about how leaders can effectively and ethically track their employees' productivity.

4 ways to make the office work again

Good morning,

Pandemic-driven social-distancing, the fierce competition for talent, and near-record high inflation have changed the way many businesses function. As a result, you now need to reconsider where and how your organization works and what improvements you need to make to keep employees around. 

You may be able to save money by reducing office space and helping inflation-pinched workers hold onto the cash they would otherwise spend on commuting. Or you may be able to operate without owning or leasing real estate. Another option may be to rent spaces where employees can get together occasionally to brainstorm and reinforce your company's culture. If you’re looking to switch up how your company functions, here are four workplace models you should consider in this post-pandemic era.

Showing up

Good morning,

Amy Errett, chief executive of the hair-color startup she founded in 2014, Madison Reed, worked for the first decades of her career in finance, management consulting, and in venture capital. Despite those industries' reputations, it was there that she carved out her signature leadership style, which she describes as "leading with love from an open heart."

If that sounds like a mushy concept to you, here’s how she describes it: "It's really true and authentic, including having to deliver bad news," she explained on Inc.’s What I Know podcast. "I love you. So I am going to tell you the whole truth, right? I am not going to have a conversation that isn't direct, open, loving, from the intent of the heart."

Read on for how Errett plans to maintain her leadership approach–even as Madison Reed uses a newly raised $33 million in venture capital to hire more than 850 more people this year.
