The Scale of the Net Zero Challenge

The price of meeting net zero is estimated to be between $100-150 trillion over the next 30 years. Regardless of this cost, we need to reach net zero before climate change does irreversible damage to the environment and the economy.

ESG, sustainability, impact… they all just mean green, right? Not quite. Despite being used often interchangeably, there are distinct differences between these terms.

Summary

How can managers improve their management of remote workers?

  1. Be more human - Managers can achieve this through: Acknowledging stress; Listening to employees' anxieties and concerns and empathise with their struggles
  2. Introduce structure - Being clear about the rules of engagement. Even if the employees know how you operate in the office, it will make life easier for them, if you clarify how you like to work outside it. The other thing that can help is to organise regular check-ins with your team; either collectively or on a one-on-one basis. It is also critical that the meetings follow a consistent pattern, you will need to cancel one or two, but maintaining a daily rhythm is critical
  3. Embrace flexibility - The downside of the traditional workplace is that it requires people to adhere to specific working patterns; absence is visible, so being present is equated with working on the other hand one of the advantages of working from home is that you can, in many situations, allow your workers more flexibility in how they work
  4. Trust - Lack of trust on the part of the manager or the organisation is one of the most significant impediments to effective remote working. If you make any of your interactions with your workers feel as if you don't trust them, it won't discourage those who want to do bad things and can cause an adverse reaction in those who are trying to do the right thing
  5. Encourage social interaction - Finding opportunities for the team to have casual discussions about non-work issues when working remotely can aid in rapport building. The best way to do this is to schedule some time at the start of team calls or virtual meetings for non-work related things
  6. Promote creativity and serendipity - Find ways to promote creativity and serendipity amongst your team. The first way you can do that is to mix things up a little. Reverse the order of agenda items during a normal team meeting or throw new tasks at them as part of the meeting. Encouraging employees to spend one on one time together, in the way that they would in the office can also be powerful
