People love perks. Employees love them even more. Unfortunately, startups looking to make employee perks easy, scalable, and tax-compliant have come and gone over the years. Compt.io thinks they have a better mousetrap. That’s why Amy Spurling, CEO, and founder, has come on the Firing Squad. In a market expected to reach approximately $346 million by 2025, the stakes are high. Does Amy make it out alive? Gotta listen.

In this encore edition, we talk with Bridget Quinn Kirchner, senior director of client experience at the ADP company Work Market.

It's now three years since the pandemic changed many people's work trajectories. While some companies have returned to the office and others are desperately trying to, remote and hybrid work continue to be the norm for many organizations. 

So putting aside noisy narratives and vested interests trying to take us back to the pre-pandemic status quote, what are the actual benefits and challenges of a distributed workforce? Also, with the opening of global talent pools, what can employers do to position themselves as an employer of choice in 2023?

My guest this week is Sarah Fern, Chief People Officer a Velocity Global. Velocity Global has employers working remotely across six timezones and 27 countries, and Sarah has some valuable insights to share on the benefits and challenges of being a distributed employer.

In the interview, we discuss:

• The benefits remote work offer to employers

• Opening up access to the best global talent

• Why presentism doesn't drive high-performing work

• The genuine challenges of a distributed workforce

• Loneliness, disconnection, productivity, and burnout

• Turning challenges into opportunities

• Rethinking recruitment marketing

• Building culture remotely

• What is the new future of work?
