Remote or Hybrid Work Team Strategy
Project details
What we need
- A 1-2 page written document that summarizes the Organization’s needs and goals for effective remote/hybrid work
- Best practices and tips for the Organization’s remote staff members, including recommendations on the best virtual collaboration tools, such as Slack, Google apps, Zoom, etc.
- Recommendations for managing projects with remote/hybrid staff, including how to set up a digital workspace for easy collaboration, and how to establish communication styles and structures that support effective teamwork
Additional details
We had a pre-pandemic telecommuting policy that allowed for one day of telework per week. Throughout the pandemic, we have been primarily teleworking with each member coming to the office to take care of on-site business approximately 1/2 to 1 day per week. Accountability has been a minor issue for some employees. As we are contemplating an updated, post-pandemic policy, we would like to come up with a plan that incorporates tools for greatest effectiveness, collaboration and culture.
What we have in place
- We currently have a telecommuting policy and annual plans, which should make it easy for you to get started. We also have a leader who is willing to invest time on this project, and the ability to provide any other information you need.
How this will help
This project will save us $5,776 , allowing us to seed a position for a new hire in FY22. We desperately another front-line development professional to increase our organization's fundraising capacity.
Our aim is to provide philanthropic support for a massive public-private project (i.e., San Antonio's very own "Central Park" in the heart of downtown). The more effective we are at fundraising, the better we can help bring the aspirational vision (to create one of the world's great public places) to life. Planning a post-pandemic balance of remote and in-person work will help us maximize the capacity of our lean staff.

Our mission
The aspirational vision for Hemisfair is to be one of the world's great public places.
The mission of the Hemisfair Conservancy is to serve as a powerful conduit of philanthropy to elevate San Antonio by ensuring exceptional quality and longevity of the Hemisfair public spaces and their amenities for generations.
What we do
The 1968 World's Fair welcomed over six million people to San Antonio. HemisFair created jobs, strengthened the economy, and positioned San Antonio as a world-class tourist destination. However, over 2,000 residents were displaced to accommodate the historic event, and following the Fair's departure, the site remained unimproved and virtually inaccessible from surrounding areas.
Four decades later, the San Antonio City Council established Hemisfair Park Area Redevelopment Corporation (HPARC) to manage the transformation of the site. The Hemisfair Conservancy, founded in 2014, helps bring the vision to life by raising philanthropic contributions to augment public funds. HPARC and the Conservancy are working together to revitalize this downtown asset into a 40-acre urban parks district where people can live, work and play.
Testimonials
Farahnaz helped our organization update its pre-pandemic Telecommuting Policy with a more current Remote Work Policy that will go before our board for approval later this month. She also helped us assess which technology platforms might assist our team with collaboration, communication and accountability. Farahnaz was always prompt, polite, and full of good ideas. I really enjoyed working with and learning from her ... highly recommend!
I had a great time working with Anne Krause on Team Strategy and Remote Work Policy projects.
