#185: How To Improve Your Business Efficiency Without Wasting A Lot Of Money

Episode Summary  It’s no secret how hiring remote workers or setting up your virtual team made you save tons of cost. Since the pandemic, remote working has become the new norm. Do you agree?

He shared proven tips on how to keep remote employees engaged and the productivity it yields.  By now, there’s no proven science yet, in terms of communication dynamics for managing a remote team.

 You don’t get the best results most of the time, but when you effectively manage to motivate your employees and manage them well - not only you are able to close the loop. You can also leverage it to achieve your business goals while you allow them to thrive.  
 Tap in now and tune in until the very end!  Listen to this week's show and learn: How do you get the best result by improving motivation; 3 ways to motivate your employees better;The Basics: Keys to Increase Motivation;How would you know which opportunities to keep or not? Episode Resources: Anthony ObasInstagramFacebookTwitterMads Singers Free Management TrainingJoin Mads Singers Management Group
