While bringing most sectors to a halt, the pandemic made e-commerce an outlier.

Several e-commerce companies have witnessed extraordinary growth during the last twelve months, including our own.

Along the way, we learned valuable lessons on how to build a fully functional and integrated remote team.

We had to scale up our operations on the back of increased demand for our services. We needed additional resources to help deliver those services with exceptional quality and due diligence. And, it had to be a remote team.

Why? Because (gestures in the general direction of the world).

This isn’t to suggest that remote teams are problematic. In fact, our experience has been quite the opposite.

Remote work comes with flexibility and greater freedom for employees. They are not bound by strict office hours. It benefits both employers and employees as the right team can increase efficiency while being accountable.

Which raises the question, how do you set your team up for success? How do you empower them? More importantly, how do you build the right remote team?

Based on our experience, here are seven things to keep in mind when building or managing a remote team. When things get back to normal - whatever that normalcy will be like - we may return to the old way or a hybrid module. Remote may be a thing of the past. Or it will remain with us in some form.

But no matter what we choose, we believe these seven principles will always stay with us.

1. Hire for culture, train for skill

2. Define your core values

3. Under-promise and over-deliver in your job description

4. The three-round interview

5. Pay well

6. Familiarize people with the systems

7. Engage outside business
