Hiring for a position in a different country can be challenging if you are doing it yourself. You may not know where to advertise, what qualifications match with the job description, miss out on career fairs, and most importantly, struggle with the timezone difference. A local leader has the knowledge and tools needed to find the right candidates for your company. Additionally, they have better eyes to see if the candidate will fit in culturally and ensure that they’re not just hiring good talent, but also open minded individuals.
We like to think that everyone in a company has a voice. However, without local support, many operational issues may go unnoticed by upper management due to not being in the flesh. A local leader has the opportunity to talk face-to-face with the team, understanding their needs and concerns, and is able to relay it back to leadership.
Running a global team isn’t easy, making communication a challenge. A local leader serves as a bridge between two different countries, providing context when there is confusion or a need for clarity.
It doesn’t need to be fancy, just a shared forum of all the team members at your company listed with their email address and office location. Then, it’s up to leadership to encourage team members to set up a quick meeting with new (or old) colleagues to get to know each other!
Whether weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly, it’s important for the team to get together that isn’t a work meeting. For example, you can kick off your meetings with a fun trivia challenge, and then chat about recent birthdays, work anniversaries, new hires, etc. Something fun we do at Cognira is to finish off our meetings with a learn & share on a topic either related to Cognira, work tips & tricks, technology, and more.
While COVID-19 has put restrictions on global travel, getting to meet your team in-person can create a greater connection than online communication can.
It’s important for team members to have shared values, regardless of cultural differences. When we are able to connect with one another, we not only understand each other better, but we create a positive workplace culture.
A few ways to create shared values:
Having a strong company vision that your employees not only agree with, but are passionate about is crucial. It is vital to hire team members that agree with the foundation of the company before creating shared values as a team.
A mentorship program can give both new and tenured employees the opportunity to connect and learn about each other, especially when both reside in different offices. This overall can foster more meaningful conversations on team projects.
