This is a good thing. If the COVID-19 pandemic happened 20 years ago, remote working would be far less viable of an option. Yes, people had internet at home back then, too. But connectivity speeds were much slower, and many were still using dial-up modem technology. Imagine taking 15 minutes to download a presentation (and even longer to upload one). And as for real-time video conferences: forget about it!<\/p><p>However, the fact that millions of people are working remotely right now doesn\u2019t mean that they\u2019re necessarily working in a way that won\u2019t lead to exhaustion and burnout. After all, sooner or later this crisis will be over. When that happens, organizations want to welcome back enthusiastic employees \u2014 not zombies.<\/p><p>And so, to help our customers and all other companies that have temporarily deployed a distributed workforce (and may decide to continue this approach to some extent for the long-term), here are 10 tips to engage, motivate and energize remote workers:<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-7c9f819 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default parallax_section_no qode_elementor_container_no\" data-id=\"7c9f819\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-4256f68\" data-id=\"4256f68\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-7ee2288 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"7ee2288\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<ol>\n \t<li>To create a sense of unity, and also to keep track of who\u2019s communicating (and who isn\u2019t), have all remote workers use the same chat\/instant messaging platform, such as the one that is built into our <a href=\"https:\/\/carolinadigitalphone.com\/services\/chat-and-sms\/\">VoIP phone system<\/a>. You don\u2019t want some remote workers using Slack, some using Facebook Messenger, some using What\u2019s App, and so on.<br><br><\/li>\n \t<li>Establish fair and reasonable goals for remote workers, so they know what\u2019s expected of them in terms of performance and productivity. With this in mind, don\u2019t assume that remote workers will be inefficient. On the contrary, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.peoplemanagement.co.uk\/news\/articles\/employees-more-effort-working-from-home\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">research has shown<\/a> that 39% of people working from home complete their tasks faster than those in offices.<br><br><\/li>\n \t<li>For businesses that offer customer\/technical support, keep an eye on call metrics (volume, duration, frequency, etc.) to detect whether some remote workers are overloaded and overwhelmed.<br><br><\/li>\n \t<li>Supervisors, managers, or executives (as appropriate) should look for opportunities to recognize remote workers who go the extra mile. A short email to the team can make a big difference in morale. Don\u2019t just reach out to remote workers when something needs to be done or when something goes wrong.<br><br><\/li> \n \t<li>Within reason and provided that it\u2019s feasible, allow remote workers to choose when they get work done. For example, some may be more productive very early in the day before their young children wake up, while others may be able to focus more in the afternoon. Try to be as flexible as possible and focus on what is produced (quantity and quality), and not when work is done.<br><br><\/li> \n \t<li>In a corporate office environment, workers can rely on external cues to manage their time effectively. But at home, these cues are typically missing \u2014 and as such, they may struggle to manage their time. Help them overcome this challenge by sharing time management tips through emails or internal blog posts. It may also be helpful to have remote workers enroll in free time management online courses offered by various e-learning platforms, such as Coursera, MIT Open Courseware, Udemy, Stanford Online, edX, and iTunes U.<br><br><\/li> \n \t<li>Speaking of e-learning: an excellent way to keep remote workers engaged and looking forward to the future is by having them enroll in an online course(s) to enhance their existing skills or learn new skills that are relevant to their job duties and career path. All of the platforms mentioned in #6 offer free courses in a variety of technical and business-related subjects, such as human resources, financial management, cybersecurity, project management, and much more.<br><br><\/li>\n \t<li>Hold a \u201cvirtual happy hour\u201d once a week so that remote workers can get together in an informal way to connect, unwind and check up on each other. The only rules are (of course) no alcohol since it\u2019s still during the workday, and no talking about work!<br><br><\/li>\n \t<li>Encourage remote workers to take short breaks throughout the day. Many people who are new to remote working (and some who have been doing it for years) fail to take real breaks. For example, if they have a few minutes between calls or after finishing a task they jump up to do the laundry, wash the dishes, or take care of some other domestic chore. Obviously, these need to get done. But break time needs to be break time, or else burnout is very likely \u2014 if not inevitable.<br><br><\/li>\n \t<li>Help remote workers optimize their workspace by providing tips and guidance (like this and like this). While working on the kitchen table or right next to a loud furnace or AC might be tolerable for people who work at home occasionally, it is a major problem for those who are working from home all day, every day.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-285aca2 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default parallax_section_no qode_elementor_container_no\" data-id=\"285aca2\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-b35a25c\" data-id=\"b35a25c\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-19a7130 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"19a7130\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-large\">Remote Working is the Present \u2014 and the Future<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-3422713 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default parallax_section_no qode_elementor_container_no\" data-id=\"3422713\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-4d95a4c\" data-id=\"4d95a4c\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-50bb525 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"50bb525\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>We don\u2019t know what the pandemic \u201cnew normal\u201d will look like, but there is one thing we can be certain of remote working is going to surge in popularity like never before.

Residing conveniently between the mountains and the coast has always appealed to Neil. The natural beauty and variety of things to do and places to visit in North Carolina mean there are always adventures to be found. Traveling to small towns across the state for day trips or longer adventures is something Neil likes to do when he has the time. After graduating from UNCG with a degree in Broadcasting, Neil spend almost 30 years working in local radio with duties ranging from on-air, commercial production, promotions, and marketing. After leaving radio, he spent several years delivering exemplary customer service with Apple. Working with customers in a high-paced atmosphere, educating novice and advanced customers on technology use was always an exciting experience."}]}},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/carolinadigitalphone.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8733","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/carolinadigitalphone.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/carolinadigitalphone.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/carolinadigitalphone.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/16"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/carolinadigitalphone.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=8733"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/carolinadigitalphone.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8733\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/carolinadigitalphone.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/8738"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/carolinadigitalphone.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=8733"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/carolinadigitalphone.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=8733"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/carolinadigitalphone.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=8733"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
