Recommendation

Creating smoothly functioning teams is at the heart of management, but it can be challenging when some teammates work remotely. Managers must be aware that remote workers can suffer isolation and possible discrimination. Virtual Not Distant, a coaching firm, teamed up with Shield GEO to discuss this issue in a podcast hosted by Bree Caggiati. She speaks with remote-work experts and leaders about the employer’s role in connecting remote workers to their firm. The podcast shows how managers can help employees navigate the pitfalls of remote work. As businesses increasingly depend on home-based employees, conversations between employers and employees take on greater relevance and urgency.

Take-Aways

  • Many companies employ remote workers, but have yet to craft “remote-friendly” cultures.
  • Employers have a duty to provide a safe workplace, but in the case of remote workers, how to fulfill that duty becomes less clear.
  • Connection takes more effort in remote work, but boosting connection is important for all employees.
