Practical strategies to create an IT remote team with high performance

Remote work is not just a temporary adaptation or an emergency solution. It has become a strategic model, especially in the technology sector, offering benefits such as global talent access and more organizational flexibility.  

Despite that, many companies struggle to get the most out of this format. It is possible to create remote IT squads that achieve higher performance and directly impact business results.

This article shows how structure and leadership in remote technological teams promote efficiency, a collaborative culture, and results. Furthermore, it explains how Biz2People is helping companies transform remote work models into competitive advantages.

Why bet on IT remote teams?

The remote model goes beyond economy and convenience. It is a strategic opportunity that can bring benefits that directly impact companies’ success.

According to a Gartner study, over 74% of IT companies plan to maintain or expand their remote models until 2026. Furthermore, organizations contemplating remote work have access to a global talent market and more capability to scale their operations with agility.

Among the main benefits, we can highlight:

  • Access to global talent: Remote work doesn’t have geographic barriers, creating diverse and highly qualified teams.
  • Cost saving: Save on physical spaces and operational expenses, such as transport and professional displacement.
  • Productivity increase: A remote environment promotes more focus and less interruption.
  • Talent retention: Professionals value the flexibility and quality of life the remote work model offers.

However, without structured management, these benefits could be lost.

Challenges that could commit the performance of remote teams

Companies still treat distributed teams as a simple extension of the on-site model. This approach fails because remote work demands tools, processes, and culture adapted to the reality of geographically scattered professionals.

The main challenges of committing to remote work include:

  • Misaligned hiring: Prioritizing only technical skills and ignoring cultural fit could create disconnection and misalignment in the team.
  • Poorly structured onboarding: Missing initial integration weakens the engagement of new members and slows down the performance.
  • Disconnected Management: The absence of rituals, such as weekly meetings, frequent check-ins, and structured feedback, weakens communication.
  • Use of inappropriate tools: Disconnected and scattered tools become more confusing and inefficient.

Remote teams need intentional management and well-structured, aligned technology with agile and human practices.

The Biz2People methodology: structure, culture and results

Biz2People understands that remote squads cannot achieve exceptional results by applying technology alone. They need a straightforward process and a culture that inspires autonomy and alignment with the business goals.

Based on this approach, we developed a consistent methodology formed by four fundamental pillars:

1 – Technical selection and tailored culture

We recruit professionals who go beyond technical abilities. They are people whose mindset aligns with organizational culture and the specific challenges of each project. This process reduces turnover and boosts integration.

2 – Complete remote onboarding

Our onboarding is not only a first day but a structured process that includes ongoing follow-up, an individual development plan, and full integration.

3 – Efficient tools and rituals

Practical measures such as daily reports, OKRs, weekly check-ins, regular feedback, and integration delivery governance create transparency and trust in operations.

4 – Results-oriented Management

We work with clear goals, performance metrics, and reports that guarantee total visibility into deliveries and KPIs, promoting a consistent results culture.

Conclusion

Create high-performance remote IT squads beyond completing remote tasks and hosting video conferences. The secret lies in maintaining consistent patterns and measurable results at cultural junctions to ensure efficiency and alignment throughout all processes.
