Invest in the Best Technology
Technology is the primary enabler of remote work. Without it, it’s impossible for workers to collaborate with colleagues and access your company’s systems.
Yes, it’s possible to get a fair amount of work done with just a laptop and an internet connection, but for maximum productivity, both your organization and its employees need to have the best tech tools for working from home,
Top on your list should be a virtual desktop solution. If you’ve just begun the transition to remote work, your workers already have their stations in the office. A virtual or cloud desktop solution enables them to remotely connect to their computers at work from anywhere and from any device.
Collaboration tools like Slack and Microsoft Teams should be next on your list. And, if your company doesn’t provide remote employees with computers and other hardware, it’s prudent to help them acquire the best.
Remote Hiring
In a world where working from home is becoming the norm, employers have to embrace remote hiring. The days of summoning job applicants to the office and interviewing them are numbered.
Thankfully, with online job boards, applicant verification services, and video conferencing tools like Zoom, hiring remotely isn’t difficult. However, take measures to verify applicant identities and credentials to avoid falling victim to scammers.
You also need to develop processes for onboarding your new remote hires. Create digital onboarding videos, documents, and other helpful material to help new hires settle in.
Workplace Culture
If your entire workforce is remote, the need to maintain the right workplace culture can take a backseat. It shouldn’t! Maintaining a strong workplace culture promotes employee satisfaction and strengthens your brand as an organization.
Set culture policies that your remote team members have to adhere to, especially when collaborating and communicating online. Make a point to check on your workers individually, understand their challenges, and strive to address them.
Running a rewards program also goes a long way to strengthening your workplace culture.
