Update the Management Program
Employees who work remotely are typically employees who are trusted to work without direct supervision. However, it is important for employees and managers to remain in close communication, especially when both parties are not physically in the office.
If the management team is unsure about allowing employees to work remotely, establish performance metrics to demonstrate the comparison between onsite and remote employees to make managers more comfortable. As mentioned in a previous slide, this tactic will also help keep employees productive. The results may surprise management – most companies maintain productivity with remote workers. According to a 2015 Gallup poll, 58 percent of U.S. workers say telecommuters are just as productive as other workers.
