Keep the communication flowing when managing remote workers

There are many benefits for both employers and employees in allowing staff to work from home. But there are also some unique challenges to overcome when managing remote workers.

For example, a strong company culture is something many businesses will strive for. How can this be maintained with staff in different places? Then there is the lack of visibility on productivity and the chance of unusual interruptions from the kids or family pet.

Stay in touch

We are often presented with the saying “communication is key”. When it comes to home working, communication is vital to allow remote workers to contribute efficiently to the progression of a business.

Getting the method and frequency of contact right from the start is important to ensure employees have everything they need to work well. It also helps you to plan better by understanding when they are available for collaboration, training, and meetings.
