SUBSIDISE WORKERS ’ CONNECTIVITY

If employees working remotely do their work on an internet connection that they pay for , they are subsidising your company . In a remote work world , companies that subsidise their employees ’ internet bills like they would provide a gym membership , work laptop , or a weekly breakfast for the office will attract better talent and stand out from the competition .

USE THE RIGHT TOOLS

As workforces go remote , it can be very tempting to integrate a handful of communication , productivity and sales tools . The result is often money down the drain and a confused or annoyed workforce . Choose the right tool , collect feedback from your employees , and learn to leverage it to its maximum potential .

SMALL TEAMS AND ACCOUNTABLE ROLES

Organisations that created new forums and structures , or redesigned existing ones were also found to have done well over the past year . Daily catch-up sessions between immediate teams , rather than weekly departmental meetings , for example , help staff adapt and change tack on a dime .

ENCOURAGING EMPLOYEES TO SET BOUNDARIES

Finding the right work-life balance was already a nightmare , frankly , when our jobs were done in a different building to the one we slept in . Remote-native companies like Buffer have found that encouraging employees to set firm boundaries and take regular breaks results in higher motivation and less burnout .
