Do you work in a senior leadership position or in an HR or employee support role for an organisation that's managing a remote workforce? As an organisation, embracing remote work opens doors to new opportunities for cost savings, productivity gains and reduced employee turnover, but it also requires a careful navigation of the detail.
You may be loving:
- The cost savings that can significantly decrease the cost of maintaining physical office spaces.
- The increase of productivity as employees enjoy fewer distractions and more control over their work environment.
- Access to talent pools from a wider geographical area, not being restricted to hiring in locations where you have a physical office.
- Happier employees who stay longer, and the ability to attract new high performers seeking flexible work.
- Business continuity in the case of emergencies.
But you may also find it challenging to:
- Maintain effective communication channels and effectively engaging remote employees
- Build a sense of shared purpose among all employees
- Set expectations for accountability and monitoring without reducing trust
- Manage security risks as employees access secure information from potentially insecure networks and devices.
- Ensure all employees are safe in their home office, have all the equipment they need and know what to do in an emergency.
We can help provide you with the resources and advice to tread a successful path through these remote working challenges.
