And while remote work has been\r\ngaining popularity in the last few years, especially in the tech industry, not\r\nall companies were ready to implement remote work policies. This means that\r\nnow, all of these companies are faced with new challenges. Additionally, many\r\nof the business owners are afraid that remote work will negatively affect their\r\nproductivity.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nNo matter if your company\r\nhas done remote work before, working remotely during these conditions isn’t\r\nideal.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nThat’s why in this article\r\nwe’ll be taking a look at some of the ways your employees can stay productive\r\nand be successful when working remotely.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

1. Define Your\r\nCompany’s Working House<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nEven though remote\r\ncompanies are known for having more flexible working time arrangements, you\r\nstill should set the hours you and your employees are working.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nWith pre-set working hours,\r\nyou minimize the risk of overworking or underworking your employees.\r\nPredetermined working hours will also help everyone more easily adjust to\r\nremote work, because now you know when you get on and off work, just like in\r\nthe office. This can also be useful for readjusting back to the office once\r\neverything returns to normal.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

2. Communicate Often<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nCommunication is very\r\nimportant for all businesses, with remote companies, it might be one of the\r\nmost important aspects of the business.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nEstablish communication\r\nrules – everyone’s availability, the best way to reach one another, the\r\nplatforms you all prefer, and the frequency of communication. Communication\r\nrules are likely to change as you make other adjustments to remote work.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nAlso, make sure you\r\nencourage your employees to communicate with each other as much as possible. By\r\nsharing all the important info you have, you’ll more likely be able to stop any\r\nmisinformation or double work from occurring.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

3. Don\u2019t Forget to\r\nTrack Time<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nIf you want to be sure your\r\nemployees are doing the work you\u2019re paying them to do, you need to have them\r\ntrack their time. To track time, most remote companies rely on some sort of a time tracker<\/a>.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nIn addition to helping you\r\nmonitor if your employees are staying on track with their time, time tracking\r\nsoftware is also useful for your employees, as it allows you to see who is\r\naccountable, visible, and most productive. A time tracker can also help introduce\r\na much-needed structure for your remote company.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

4. Track The Progress\r\nOn All of your Project<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nYou need to encourage your\r\nremote employees to be more proactive now that everyone is working from home.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nBy tracking time on all\r\nyour projects and generally keeping track of what your employees are doing, you\r\nminimize the risk of overwork or double work for your employees. This also\r\nhelps reduce the stress your employees feel if they know that someone is\r\nlooking after what they’re doing.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

5. Encourage Your\r\nEmployees to Socialize<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nWith everyone working from\r\nhome, the usual office chit-chats and banter are gone. However, you still can\r\nencourage your employees to continue with their usual social interactions, just\r\nover the internet.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nThis will help your employees\r\nfeel more connected with each other, less lonely, and it will help work feel\r\nless monotonous for everyone.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

6. Don\u2019t Forget To Have\r\nFun<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nAn additional way you can\r\ncombat the usual monotony of everyday work is to introduce fun activities in\r\nwhich everyone can participate in. Play online games together, start a book or\r\na moviesflix<\/a> club, send each other fun GIFs over Slack, and if you can, volunteer\r\nonline together.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nThere is almost an infinite\r\nnumber of fun things you can do while working remotely, so we’re sure you’ll\r\nfind something for your employees to enjoy!\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Final Takeaways<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nWhile remote work has been\r\ngaining popularity in the tech world for the last couple of years, not all\r\ncompanies were ready or willing to embrace it. However, with the coronavirus\r\noutbreak, many business owners now have to work remotely and some of them are\r\nafraid that remote work will negatively affect their organization’s\r\nperformance.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nHowever, if you clearly\r\ndefine your company’s working hours, communicate often with your employees and\r\nencourage them to communicate with each other, track time on all tasks, keep an\r\neye on the progress of all your projects, encourage everyone to socialize and\r\nhave fun, you’ll have much better chances to be productive while working\r\nremotely and be successful in working from home.\r\n\r\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
