Top tips from Yuuguu, where we practise what we preach and all work from home:

Get the right people

This is not about their skills on the CV, its about their personality, how they work and what motivates them. We use psychometric testing to make sure people can work on their own, that they will enjoy it and they have the communication skills to work in that way. We also focus on recruiting people for whom working from home can make a big difference in their life; typically people who have spent a few years commuting and are sick of it.

A clear vision

You can’t be with people every day so this ensures we are all moving in the same direction.

No politics

Politics and sneaking behind people’s backs will kill remote team working. Stamping this out comes from the top – senior management need to make sure this doesn’t happen.

This is going to sound terribly old school, but there’s no substitute for a good old fashioned phone call to break out of the “flying email cycle” that inevitably arises when geographically distributed people run into problems. You know what I’m talking about — when you open your inbox to find two dozen messages each with the same subject line and RE: RE: RE: that have arrived in the past 90 minutes. You can get the person(s) on the phone and sort it out, or you can respond via email and just add to the noise…
