Recommendation

Team managers face a substantial challenge now that COVID-19 has sent many workers from their office buildings to temporary work stations in their own homes. Managing a teleworking team from afar can be a daunting task, particularly if you and your team members have never worked remotely. In this article from the Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM), editor Kathy Gurchiek provides clear advice that sounds deceptively simple, but will help you create a checklist so you won’t forget important steps. She includes some tips to keep people safe when they aren’t able to work remotely.

Take-Aways

  • Managers can help teleworkers by defining clear priorities and setting expectations about work schedules.
  • Stay in contact and encourage engagement.
  • Mitigate the challenges that arise in teleworking meetings.
