Tips For Managing Remote Employees Scenario planning in most organizations focuses on the operational responses required to ensure business continuity. Few of these plans address employees' ability or bandwidth to focus on their work. As a result of the transition, HR needed to provide managers with particular instructions on guaranteeing that staff is given the adequate support they require to deal with the crisis' emotional roller coaster while remaining productive and engaged.

Recognize that virtual discussions are unique and will never be flawless, but maintain a professional demeanor and respect for others. Be aware that some employees may find virtual team communications less comfortable and practical, and train them on how and when to escalate ineffective virtual exchanges. For example, If an issue hasn't been resolved after six emails, the conversation may need to be escalated to a virtual meeting to be determined.

Don't get caught up in apparent performance issues; once the crisis has passed, you'll have plenty of opportunities to rely on established performance management procedures. READ MORE
