Workers can only be as successful as their environment allows. If a company isn’t set up to support remote workers well, someones role as a remote worker may not work out long term. A company unused to managing remote employees may not have a process to assess performance because they are used to relying on seeing people in an office “doing work.”
Completely remote companies have solved how to support a remote team. If your company is new to working remote or only has a faction of remote workers, there are some considerations to be had. It might be helpful to try and align with our remote company checklist, a list of attributes a company needs to successfully manage remote teams.
The Remote Company Checklist
- Have an Onboarding Process
- Have Meetings Built to be Inclusive of Remote Workers
- Have a Clear and Always-Available Task Management System
