3 Tips to Manage a Remote Workforce for Better Productivity

2020 was indeed annus horribilis! A year that brought misfortunes, not only for the people and their health but also for the organizations. People were forced to confine themselves to their homes and opted to work from home in order to keep the flow of income.

It is 2021, and people are still reluctant to attend offices in order to keep themselves safe from the deadly virus. As a result, many organizations have decided to allow their employees to work remotely permanently.

But there’s a huge challenge faced by employers when it comes to managing remote workers. However, with the help of effective communication, appropriate tools, and a well-drafted plan, things might become a bit easy.

So, if you also want to overcome all the obstacles when it comes to remote work management, here are some tips that can help you with it. Let’s take a look at them.

 

1. Use drives for everything

Half of the chaos and confusion begins when the employees have no idea about what to do and where to submit their daily tasks. Yes, that’s why many managers had to receive innumerable emails and phone calls from their subordinates.

Thankfully, online drives can help you prepare sheets systematically that you can share with the employees, and they have a clear picture of what they have to do and whom they have to report.

The best part of using these drives is that anyone can access them anywhere with the help of an id and password. That’s really convenient! Everything will be logged in systematically for anyone to access.

 

2. Go digital with payments.

Many employees had to suffer because their employees failed to pay them wages and salaries due to the imposed lockdown.

But thanks to digital technology, making transactions has never been so easy as secured. According to https://bentoforbusiness.com/features/virtual-debit-cards/, an employer can now keep track of all the transactions and get control over all the spending limits.

Such virtual debit cards are also capable of meeting all the versatile and financial needs of any business owner by offering much more speed and security as compared to the traditional ones.

 

3. Schedule online meetings

Remote work is not only challenging for the employer but is also a bit frustrating for the employees.

By scheduling online meetings, discussing agendas, and playing some work games, an employee feels that he/she is a part of the team.

This helps to keep them motivated and allows them to give their best while meeting their targets.

 

Final Words!

Prior to the Covid-19 pandemic, the employers were reluctant to allow their employees to work thinking that it will hinder their productivity as their employees would spend most of the time running errands and doing other stuff.

It was indeed very surprising that as of late August 2020, 94% of the employers agreed to the fact that the productivity of their employees remained the same or elevated since they were forced to adopt WFH to limit the spread of the deadly virus.

So, now that you know how to manage your remote workforce for better productivity, include these tips in your business plan and you are good to go!
