HR Tech QnA with the Expert
I have always liked the “Management by Walking Around” concept, as it encourages communication between all levels of the company. At VanillaSoft we emphasize our “open door” philosophy, whereby we encourage everyone to talk about what they like, what they don’t like, and how they think we can improve things. No one gets in trouble for raising ideas, and in return they need to be ready to defend their reasoning. With no personal contact currently, we are having to resort to technology to try and recreate this.
