Jeremy Ostrem, of Scott Technology Group
through monthly team meetings. “Microsoft Teams has been a huge help and allowed us to do this,” he says. “I think Microsoft understands the need for that collaboration even when you're remote.” He says they use such meeting times for both work and personal communication. “Sometimes we throw fun ice-breaker questions just to get people talking about their summer or anything they want to really.” And they always urge face time on calls. “One thing we encourage is whenever we call someone, that they flip open that camera—let's see people's faces,” Ostrem says. “I think that's a huge benefit.” They try to make sure everyone is getting together for camaraderie and fun, like company barbecues. Ostrem believes all these things help with employee retention because other companies may not be offering the same flexibility. “We find that employees that come here do stay here,” he says. “We keep our employees happy, and we keep them here for the long term.” Perhaps one of the most impressive remote positions is with their warehouse manager who uses Docuware software tools. “People often kind of laugh at us and say, ‘What? Your warehouse manager remote? That doesn't work,’” Ostrem says. “We made it work because we're a company that cares about the employees. So when she did have an opportunity to move out of town, we allowed it. And we retained her.” “STG has always been like that with our employees—where we try to find a way. And I think that helps keep our employees happy.” g
