Being people-first vs company-first: How to prioritize ft. Marissa Goldberg | The Founder's Foyer

If there’s one phrase we’ve heard over a thousand times in the last two years, it is — remote work. Or say hybrid work. From building and iterating on ideas by pulling out chairs, to virtually looking at each other’s faces on tiles—we’ve done it all. But there’s a whole lot of stuff to think about working with folks across different geographies, time zones, interests. And so many questions to keep us seeking for answers.

Right here, I have someone with me to discuss all things future of work — Marissa Goldberg is the Founder of Remote Work Prep, a platform that provides services to help teams set up an effective remote work experience . Marissa has been working remotely since 2015 and has managed distributed product team members across 20+ countries.

In this video, Marissa and Aishwarya chat about how every company should prioritize a people-first culture in order to build trust amongst the employees. She shares some real-time examples of how she advised companies to focus on people-first motives.
