Considering Going Global? Offshore Teams 101

Most freelancers and agencies who work in web knows that accessibility matters, but during the daily working life it is sometimes hard to include accessibility into the projects.

Eight years ago I was a one-gal band running my WordPress business on lots of coffee and late nights and systems held together by a wing and a prayer and a bit of Sellotape.

This had to stop. Bootstrapping, I hired my first offshore team member. Since then I’ve scaled my business with people, policies, and systems, so I work with more clients in a less stressful way, and enjoy life an awful lot more!

In my session I will focus on:

Is going offshore for you? Have you developed the structure and policies to support offshore teams? Making your first hires – what are your options?

I’ll share my experiences, good and bad! Day-to-day management – developing robust communication and planning systems for your offshore team to enable a great work environment for everyone!

Creating your own team manual – sounds dull but is the lifeblood of your business. I will show you how to create a living document that grows with you.

Learn from my mistakes while I share my own shortcuts to hiring offshore teams and loving your WordPress business more.
