Startups often run on shoestring budgets, so a money-savvy approach makes a difference. Fortunately, the remote work model can help them save money by conserving space and infrastructure. Running with WFH makes sense because it enables you to manage with a bare minimum workspace. The best part is that it offers flexibility, which is a plus for the millennial workforce.

According to a survey by CoSo Cloud, remote workers are 24% more likely to be productive and happy in their roles than the ones working in traditional office environments. However, you cannot take the success of the model for granted. You must invest in a robust remote work culture to make the most of it and ensure employee loyalty and retention in the long run. Here are a few actionable strategies to establish a remote work culture for your startup.
Communication is the mainstay of an effective remote work environment. It keeps team members on the same page and eliminates bottlenecks in the workflow. Think beyond official communication, and encourage employees to interact personally. It enhances team bonding and reduces anxiety and isolation. Use tools for video conferencing, instant messaging, and project discussions to foster good communication.
Startups need not do a lot to establish a positive remote work culture that fosters collaboration, productivity, and efficiency. Follow these tips to cover all fronts for your new business.
