1/ Establish ground rules
Even if team members work remotely, they must still demonstrate a set of acceptable behaviours. This is even more valid for virtual teams:
– Time slot during which team members are reachable
– Attendance at mandatory virtual meetings
o Log in on time, if possible.
o Have the right to express yourself freely.
o Listen to and respect all points of view.
Remote working has become much more common since the pandemic sent people home from their offices and into the Zoom universe. This has put the onus on managers to find new and better ways to engage with and motivate staff, and we’re still learning how best to do this.
Perhaps the commonest advice given to managers is to provide remote staff with clear, measurable goals. Set targets, monitor progress, measure results.
More and more people are working from home.
At first it seems nice to telework from home.
You don’t have to go to work, no traffic jams. You can more or less plan your own day. Your line manager is not present all day.
However, working from home can also become a problem. The separation between work and private life is less obvious because you work in a place where you are normally when you are not working, i.e. your own home.
Looking for a change of scenery while working remotely? Do you want to spend some time in the sun and discover beautiful places to visit? The South of France is your teleworking destination! It has a wonderful climate with long warm summer days stretching through to September and October and incredible landscapes.
Statistics indicate that a lot of people are not happy to go to work. The working climate is becoming more and more difficult and many people are suffering from stress. Often, companies only look at the bottom line and not how the bottom line is achieved. The goal is more important than the path seems to be the motto. Fortunately, more and more companies are realizing that the human aspect cannot be neglected.
Unconsciously favoring in-office employees—also called distance bias—can make top talent quit. Toptal Insights spoke with experts at PwC, Gartner, and more about how to protect your business.
You’re leading a 4 PM meeting; five employees are with you in a conference room and others have dialed in from elsewhere. You ask for volunteers to write a report for the CEO, and several hands shoot up, including a few on Zoom. You tap the person sitting across from you because they’re the first one you see.
Onboarding and training of new employees are key steps in a telework context so that the new recruit quickly becomes an entire member of the team.
By adopting a well-defined induction and training plan, the challenges of teleworking can be managed effectively.
