The COVID-19 outbreak showed how working from home could be beneficial for employees and employers. Managers and supervisors have had to adjust to having remote team members.
Having remote workers leads to a wider recruitment pool, increased productivity, and fewer sick days. Remote workers save time and money by avoiding a commute.
Remote workers can feel isolated or spend more time in a stressful home environment. Weekly planning and making days feel different can help decrease burnout. Remote workers can have reduced levels of engagement with coworkers.
Managers can accidentally withhold information from remote workers. Having regularly scheduled one-on-one check-ins can increase communication. Video conferencing allows for nonverbal communication.
Expectations on behavior and performance should be clear. Having short-term and long-term goals can help workers understand expectations.
