All sizes of companies are embracing remote work because employees are looking for flexibility. While some leaders worry that a remote option will reduce productivity, research shows that when companies implement an effective policy of remote working it actually improves key metrics and employee morale.
However, there are a lot of questions about remote working arrangements, from how it compares to flextime and where companies have a distributed workforce. There are many benefits to offering remote working options, from the reduction of the commute (the most popular benefit of telecommuting, according to a 2020 FlexJobs survey) to increased engagement and retention from giving employees the flexibility they need.
Flexible work arrangements can be described as the case when an employee or team doesn’t have to report to a physical office at least some of the time, be it working from home a few days per week or being completely remote. It also involves working from a satellite location such as a cafe or coworking space and it can even include the possibility of a mobile workforce.
No matter how your company determines flexible work arrangements It is vital that leaders and managers give regular feedback on the performance of their employees and communicate. It’s also recommended to arrange regular standups and meetings via virtual means to encourage collaboration, creativity and communication. Don’t forget to praise your remote teams whenever they deserve it. If your employees aren’t motivated or feel that they are not appreciated the performance of their team will suffer.
