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.
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.
How can this be done?
The digital transformation of the workplace has created greater opportunities for new forms of work arrangements — remote, hybrid, distributed and flexible work. While in-person meetings create opportunities for conversation, employees in online meetings tend to drop off immediately at the end of the meeting and return to their work in a split-second.
