Before the pandemic, improved technology and low overhead costs encouraged businesses to allow employees to work from home. For many full time, or even part-time employees, the ability to cut out the daily commute and work from a place of comfort, or more convenience for families, is an attractive option. But while the advantages are clear, there are challenges that come with this work arrangement.
For example, if you’re used to the hustle and bustle of the office and a regular workflow, it can be difficult to concentrate at home. And if you share your home with family, you may need to set boundaries between work and personal life.
A successful remote workplace also requires a high degree of trust between supervisors and employees. Managers must be willing to trust their employees that they will complete their assignments without oversight and in a timely manner. The same is true for employees, who must be prepared to prove they are able to focus and meet the company’s expectations while away from the office. To help you find trustworthy and highly skilled employees contact Aloha International Employment.
Another key factor is ensuring that all employees have the tools they need to work from home. Ensure that all team members have access to the same software and can easily connect with colleagues using video conferencing apps like Slack, Zoom, GoToMeeting, etc. Make sure all equipment is functioning correctly and if necessary, provide new hardware or software as soon as possible. This should be done prior to an employee starting work from home or within a few days of realizing that it isn’t working properly.
It is also critical to prioritize communication and set clear expectations. Maintain scheduled team meetings or one-on-one appointments on the calendar, and if not in person, schedule periodic check-ins via phone, email, or a virtual collaboration tool such as Slack or GoToMeeting. Make sure all supervisors, managers, and leaders are readily available and accessible to answer questions or discuss issues that may arise.
