Could your firm use a Chief Remote Work Officer?
Will your company’s complex hybrid work arrangements be sustainable for the long term? After all, you have mix of workers in-office, full-remote workers and others dividing their work hours between home and office.
If you aren’t 100% sure, RobertHalf.com says you may want to consider appointing a chief remote work officer (CRWO).
Although this new C-suite role will likely take some time to become fully defined, here are some of the potential duties that a CRWO could help your company handle.
The value of a remote work officer
A CRWO can collaborate with Finance and HR to manage:
- Company culture. Because full-time remote workers may become disengaged, the CRWO can take the lead on creating a culture where everyone feels included and has equal opportunity to thrive.
- Cybersecurity. Cyberattacks on remote workers can cost the company big bucks. The CRWO can make sure everyone’s following best practices for password management, encryption and VPNs.
- Talent acquisition. A CRWO can fine-tune job descriptions to appeal to remote workers. They can also help build a company brand that shows remote workers are welcomed and supported.
This person could be a big help to your company. If you decide your firm’s budget can support another C-suite salary, this person can help fill in some new, dangerous gaps.
