Teams in a work-from-anywhere world

<p>Empathic leadership is what's needed in a globally-distributed workforce, and replacing water-cooler moments isn't as simple as organising more mandatory Zoom calls.</p><p><br>This week, Dan and Pia talk remote collaboration with Sydney-based <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/michelle-zimany/">Michelle Zimany</a>, Human Resources leader for the pharmaceutical company Sanofi. They discuss the loss of spontaneity and serendipity in the age where people only meet on Zoom, and missing those moments to have a quick chat while getting a coffee.</p><p><br>Michelle shares some of the events she's running and participating in within her organisation, to help people feel more connected without a feeling of enforced fun. She, Pia and Dan discuss the change in attitudes to work attire, and how rigid corporate thinking has given way to understanding and tolerance, now that so many of us are sharing our homes virtually.</p><p><br><strong>Links</strong></p><ul> <li>S<a href="https://www.sanofi.com/">anofi</a> </li> <li><a href="https://squadify.net/">Squadify</a></li> </ul>
