Rising Chief Remote Working Officer (CRWO)
Over the last few years, there has been quite a shift in the way many of us work. Many companies are still coming to grips with working with a remote/hybrid team.
Those companies that have adapted not only retain great employees but also attract others who align with the culture and values that allows for flexibility and encourages new forms of collaboration.
“A Chief Remote Officer’s key mission is to facilitate, smooth over and streamline remote operations to drive success across the organization. By default, it’s a cross-functional, multidisciplinary position directly related to human resources management. The Chief Remote Officer supports the HR department (hiring, onboarding and training talent, organizing the workforce), technical services (overseeing virtual tools and specialized software implementation, monitoring compliance), and operations (championing change and internal communication).” – RealChange

A growing number of companies are adding a new role to their leadership team: chief remote officer to help improve the remote-working experience.
