Chesky hits on two integral pieces of a WFH policy. The first is that if you bind your job candidates to a physical location, it puts you at a disadvantage when it comes to the potential of talent.
The second piece being C Level Executive Email Lists that expanding to a larger geographic area, or even a global network, can provide a whole new level of diversity in the company.
While it looks great on a company, diversity and inclusion hiring isn’t a box to check off, or a Marketing tactic – it’s to give an equal opportunity to everyone, because it is the right thing to do.
But is going global with your hiring that easy?
CEO of Cotopaxi, stated
“It’s a lot easier to hire a diverse team when you aren’t limited to a specific geography….I’ve asked myself many times: At what point does this catch up to us? Because so many people are new and maybe they don’t understand the culture as deeply. But our culture has changed and all those rituals and traditions, we had to wipe them clean and start over and we’ve created new ones that work for this new environment.”
While acknowledging the diversity aspect no longer being limited, Smith does raise an important question to those looking to make the switch.
Who should adapt? Should the new employees take on the culture their employer has already set in stone? Should the employer start fresh to accommodate everyone’s cultural values?
The short answer: Yes*
*with a shift in mindset
Intercultural Mindset = Cross-Cultural Learning: A Checklist for Adaptation
Remote culture can have its challenges….(obviously). Not being bound by physical borders doesn’t mean being unbound by virtual borders, also known as time zones. If you’re in the eastern United States and your coworker is in eastern Brazil, no big deal, it’s just 1 measly hour ahead.
But if you work in England and your coworker is in Australia, they’re probably a full work day ahead of you.
Aside from time zones there are language barriers, cultural holiday schedules, digital miscommunications, the list goes on. But through struggle, comes the opportunity for growth.
To hopefully mitigate these challenges, ASU gives these six practices to grow your global mindset in this new age of remote working.
