Abstract: Leaders experience higher productivity and lower turnover due to implementing an effective remote working program.The need for leaders to understand their role in productive remote working is critical to program success.Grounded in the organizational leadership theory, the purpose of this single qualitative case study was to explore strategies financial leaders use to implement an effective remote working program.The participants were three leaders of a major financial services corporation in Florida, USA.Data were collected using semi-structured interviews and company documents, and three themes emerged from a thematic analysis: leadership strategies and styles, management of remote workers, and the benefits and drawbacks of remote working.A key recommendation for financial leaders is to dedicate training and development for frontline managers to avoid using a micromanagement approach to manage the remote staff.The implication for positive social change includes the potential to remove barriers to gaining employment for individuals residing in underserved areas.
