Larger organizations might need to develop more formal ways to get employee feedback and to ensure they are satisfied.

It's critical for your company's values to stand for something. Employees, particularly millennials, want to work for organizations that prioritize more than just profit. You may build a valuable sense of connection with your employees and community by providing meaningful employment.

My company is working remotely for 10 years already. Since the team is distributed all over the world, we meet only occasionally. To keep everyone engaged we do the following: - keep Slack active. We have various channels and many of them are not work related to discuss various fun matters - we pay a lot of attention to peer recognition. Kudos is something we do really often. - regular check ins with managers. We do it in written format to accommodate the different time zones We've written a blogpost about it if you are curious https://www.myzenteam.com/employ...
