About

Dear Eric,

I'm Dermot Dennehy, CEO of Manage Remote Teams.

Following a successful corporate career, I have run my own businesses for the last 20 years on an international scale in industries such as consultancy, technology, eCommerce, luxury and now hybrid/remote working. I have been very lucky to work with some amazing business partners, investors and teams without which, I would not have been so successful.

In 2014, largely inspired by trailblazing remote (mostly) tech companies, we eventually gave up our London office in favour of hot-desking, coffee shop meetings and working from our respective homes. We did this while working with internationally located remote teams.

Using that vast knowledge and our experience of managing remote teams in Asia, Europe and the UK, we created Hybrid 2.0 for organisations of all sizes to ensure they become exceptional hybrid employers.

We work with SMEs, Enterprise size organisations and charities of all sizes in the UK, Europe, Asia and the US.

Emerging from the pandemic and navigating ongoing challenges, including cost of living pressures and the war in Ukraine, has presented both immense difficulties and remarkable achievements. We understand that every organisation is at a unique stage in this journey.

The paradigm shift is clear:

Hybrid work has transcended its pandemic origins to become the essential foundation for accelerating business growth over the next 3-5 years.

Introducing Hybrid 2.0, the next generation of hybrid work. This empowers organisations to proactively leverage hybrid work as a foundation for impacting key performance areas like sales, marketing, talent acquisition, retention, and productivity.

The Genie Is Out The Bottle

The future of hybrid working is likely to be shaped by a number of factors, including advances in technology, changes in social, economic conditions and shifts in employer attitudes towards distributed work.

BUT, none of this matters if we continue to manage our employees in the same way we did before the pandemic.

The traditional approach to managing employees is simply not effective in this new reality. We need to adapt and find new ways to support and motivate our employees, especially given the added stress and uncertainty that many are experiencing.

That goes way beyond the practicalities of deciding how many days are worked in the office and who works with whom.

We know that when companies become consciously adept at operating with remote or hybrid teams, three things happen in a loop:

First, meaningful productivity, creativity and loyalty increase.
Second, retention and the ability to attract the best talent increases exponentially.
Third, employees have a chance to have a true work-life balance, which in turn, is energising and motivating for them.

In one of our clients, as part of the strategy, staff turnover plummeted by 48% after implementing our programs, translating to significant recruitment cost savings.

Our post programmes benchmarking process revealed a company-wide productivity increase of 2.75% on average, further fuelling their success.

A potent combination - retaining talent and attracting new recruits - is the growth engine powering their continued success.

I hope that I get the opportunity to engage with you and the board to give you a sense of what we do and to get an understanding if we can help.

Kindly,

Dermot Dennehy
