How to Strengthen Trust and Connection in a Remote-First Organization - ep. #003
What does it take to rebuild a thriving remote-first workplace culture after a crisis while staying true to a mission that spans the globe?
In this new episode of Return to People Podcast, host Kaleem Clarkson speaks with Scott Marshall, President & CEO of the Institute for Shipboard Education, home to the iconic Semester at Sea program. Scott shares how his purpose-driven nonprofit rebuilt its global workplace culture around flexibility, trust, and remote collaboration, all while keeping a distributed team connected and engaged.
Recovering from COVID-related revenue loss and the shutdown of voyages wasn’t easy. Rebuilding trust during layoffs and overcoming generational bias toward in-office work made it even more challenging. But as Scott says, “If you want the best people, go national.” That mindset opened the door to a stronger, more resilient team with engagement scores in the high 80s and 90s.
From biannual all-staff retreats to intentional onboarding, Scott reveals practical ways to keep mission-driven global teams connected and thriving.
🎧 Listen now to discover actionable strategies for building culture, connection, and performance in remote-first organizations, no matter the distance!
