Best Practices for Managing Employees

Teams that suddenly change work patterns — particularly moving from co-located to virtual — need to rethink how to accomplish their tasks and ensure that essential duties and goals are met.

Include all your remote workers in meetings, whether strategic or planning, planning to make sure that they’re aware of updates as well as the big picture. It will also help them prioritize work and manage their time. All members of your team should know what deliverables they and the team are working toward, and how these deliverables will be met.

Let your staff know how and when they can reach you throughout the workday. Remember, team members who are off-site won’t be able to swing by your office to ask questions or get feedback.

Schedule a daily or weekly check-in meeting to ensure all tasks and deliverables are on schedule and any issues are addressed.

Perhaps you want a weekly email update from each member of your team, or you may prefer that people update a master spreadsheet of projects. Figure out what works for you, and make sure everyone knows.

Utilize chat and collaboration tools, such asGoogle HangoutsandZoom.

特别是对于那些不习惯在家工作的远程工作者来说,就如何有效地在家工作提供建议是一个很好的姿态。这些想法包括如何设置家庭办公空间,如何确定工作时间,以及如何与可能在家的任何家庭成员设定界限。
