What if the best way to improve the office were to eliminate it? A 2017 Gallup study found that 43 percent of Americans worked from home at least part of the time, and many more would like to. Working remotely offers the advantages of no commute, choose-your-own attire, and more organic scheduling. Overall, it’s just a lot more comfortable and convenient.
1. Use technology to keep teams engaged.
A remote workforce can become disconnected and uncoordinated if you are not careful. Technology ensures that ideas and information, both formal and informal, flow throughout the organisation. Videoconferencing, group chats, online training modules, and digital recognition platforms are all great tools for keeping employees engaged. Team members see each other as collaborators rather than isolated contributors.
