The COVID-19 epidemic has forced many businesses to review their workplace policies, specifically those regarding remote work. Some companies have switched to a totally remote model, while others continue to maintain an office and employ remote employees for certain tasks or roles. The flexible arrangement benefits both the employer and their remote workers. The former reduces real estate and space costs, attracts talent from all over the world and mitigates geographic limitations while the latter balances professional and personal obligations.

However, transferring teams from office to remote offices requires more than just a stable internet connection and file-sharing apps. It is important to plan for a smooth transition which includes onboarding, training and establishing metrics of success. It is also crucial to have the right tools and equipment for remote workers.

For example, it’s important to set clear expectations on virtual communications, and avoid saturating employees with messages. Instead, managers should communicate guidelines for virtual calls and establish regular check-ins. They should also provide the right tools for tracking the workflow and performance. Trello, for example, is a productivity-tracking application that can help managers track the progress of their teams.

It is also essential to search for the best remote work jobs that suit your abilities and experience. Software solutions can be used to work remotely in roles such as managing projects and client interactions which were previously dependent on face-toface interaction. Salespeople can also use online platforms to manage their pipelines and communicate with clients from afar. Human resource management and operations are some other professions that have been able to adapt to working remotely.
