In this episode of the iMPact Job Talk podcast, we talk to iMPact President Matt Peal about the challenges of managing a remote team. Topics discussed include:
- How can managers identify remote employee challenges and concerns?
- Communication is even more important with work-from-home employees to make sure the right expectations are set and managed. What are the best ways to communicate with remote employees to help them keep on track?
- It’s important to provide work-from-home employees with all the necessary tools. What are some of the most important tools that employers should expect to make available to their employees, and that work-from-home employees should make themselves familiar with if they want to work from home?
- It can be tempting for some managers, when they can’t see their employees in person, to want to micro-manage to make sure the work is getting done. What can managers do to keep their team members productive and make sure they are not alienating work-from-home employees?
- It’s important for managers to know if their employees are facing any challenges, both professional and personal. How can managers managing remote employees make sure they are in tune with how their employees are doing and help them resolve any issues they’re facing?
- When a team is divided between some team members working in the office and some working from home, what can managers to do make sure all employees feel like they’re a part of the team regardless of their work location?
- In the past year, people have been working from home because they didn’t have a choice, so there hasn’t been a stigma around it like there has been in the past. As employees are allowed to return to work, some people who have to work in the office may harbor negative feelings toward those who are allowed to continue working from home? How can managers overcome that?
- 2021 work-from-home trends for both employees and employers
