12 Years Later – From Then to Now with Media InSite

Allison: As a business leader, I have always believed in an open-door policy, the importance of listening to your team, widening participation in decision-making and the accountability of managers and team leaders to their respective teams and the business as a whole. Furthermore, I deliberately set out to create a family-like atmosphere at Media InSite, a relaxed and harmonious working environment but at the same time setting very clear goals and targets for everyone to achieve. In October 2020 the business took a major step in going virtual and the challenge has been to keep the 22 full-time staff and 23 independent contractors engaged. To be honest, this is proving to be quite challenging especially for “new” employees who have come on board after October 2020. Nevertheless, since the lifting of Covid-19 restrictions a year ago, we have quarterly in-person staff meetings and from time to time we have social events. Whilst engagement has been a challenge, remote work has resulted in increased productivity.
