Frequently Asked Questions

What is a managed remote team?

The managed remote team model proposed by Ayruz is a structure wherein the team carefully chosen by Ayruz for the project sits together at a common office location while the client sits in their home location.

What are the benefits of a managed remote team?

Increases productivity: In Ayruz, managed remote teams tend to be more productive due to their autonomy and flexibility in working. Better Communication Skills: While recruiting a candidate for a remote team, we mainly focus on their communication skill first since the clients they have to handle will be in the US/UK. Reduced Costs: You don’t have to arrange a working place and infrastructure. We will arrange all those things for you, therefore, you can save up on that. Attract top talent from across the world: Through Ayruz, you can attract the top talented and specialized professionals that are not available, or have skills that are in deficit in your region... Higher Retention rate: With a flexible work style, challenging yet learning atmosphere, Ayruz ensures that all the employees are having higher job satisfaction and that results in a better retention rate. Daily Standup Call: Here, we ensure that there is at least one synchronous working hour between the client-side and remote team’s time zones. For that, we conduct a daily standup call directly with the client. Thus project owners will be constantly aware of the developments and they can ensure the project is on schedule and ensure that it is profitable for them.

What are the key differences between remote team and managed remote team?

A remote team is one that’s spread across geographical boundaries and time zones. Most people will be based in different cities and don’t often physically work together. On the other hand, in managed remote teams most of the members work in the same office space and the project owner is monitoring all this from his home location.

What are the challenges of working with a distributed remote team?

Employees located in Different Time Zones: The most prevalent problem with remote teams is working from different geographical time zones. In a critical work-related situation, the response from each individual of the team may delay due to this difference in time zones. Also, the time taken to as well as receive the required response from an employee, residing in another geographical location would make the efficiency and coordination a tough job. Possible dip in overall efficiency: On a distributed remote team scenario, when a team member is working on the comforts of their homes, there is a high possibility for them to get distracted by their surroundings: friends might come over, unexpected guests could call in, they might even feel lazy and do not work. If it is a single person, it will affect the efficiency of that individual, what if the entire team feels like that? It could be potentially fatal. For preventing instances like that to happen, the hired individual should be capable of doing the tasks assigned to them no matter what the distraction is, they should be self-starters. Otherwise, the entire team should be working together so that the team members can keep an eye out for their peers.
Language Barriers: Another key issue which the team has to tackle while trying to do the project would be the language barrier. On a distributed team mode, the resources identified could be from various parts of the world and they might not be fluent in English since it is not their first language. If left unchecked, it could pose issues in day to day communication.
Unreliable Network: A basic requirement for remote work would be to have a reliable internet connection so that all tasks are completed on track. If there is an issue with internet connectivity, then it’d be extremely difficult for the proper functioning of the project.
