In this exclusive video for the BTN, David Ware (Global HR Business Partner at Net-A-Porter Group) looks at Brexit, immigration and the tech industry and how these factors are contributing to a new wave of distributed workforces.
David looks at how Brexit has affected talent and how a distributed workforce can mitigate the issues around tech talent in the UK and increase the talent pool that we have access to.
A distributed workforce goes beyond the restrictions of the traditional office such as being geographically dispersed. If there are restrictions with regards to foreign policy coming to the UK, technology advancements can actually enhance your talent pool through introducing a global footprint.
David looks at how startups who are UK centric can really take advantage of distributed workforces and how they can kick it all off, how they can manage it and how to mitigate risk.
In regards to the technology backing, cloud sharing & communication tools are recommended by David as essential to distributed workforce successes.
Finally, David sets about analysing some of the employment & contract laws that are in place that may affect the success of your business.
