Tips for managing a remote workforce
Abstract
With the initial disruption of COVID-19 now settling down, organisations are finding themselves in a new situation, where some of their previously onsite workforce is now fully remote or working according to a hybrid model of onsite and remote work, and some new employees have been hired as fully remote. This new model of dispersed employees presents managers, supervisors and leaders with fresh challenges when it comes to checking in on employees and providing them with the guidance, they need to perform their daily functions. This paper supplies key tips for the successful management of remote workforces. As well as how to balance the team dynamic with employees in multiple locations and differing work types, such as, fully remote, hybrid and onsite, the paper will also explore the use of various technologies and methods for ensuring employees are working to the best of their ability and continue to be content and productive in whatever environment they find themselves working.
