Challenges of Remote Jobs
1. Building a Company Culture
Company culture is all about how the business operates as one unit, not individually. Even with remote work when employees are working from different locations and will not always be together, combining the company’s unique values and operating as one is key to forming a robust culture. So what is the main ingredient to doing so whilst working from home?
Communication. Regular check-ins between managers and employees are so important. One-to-one meetings should be scheduled every week, as well as team meetings. This gives employees the opportunity to bring up any problems with tasks or ask specific questions.
2. Mental Health
Remote employees often miss out on the impromptu collaborations that foster a sense of connection and engagement in a workplace. They may feel isolated without these opportunities, decreasing motivation and impacting mental health.
It’s important that managers offer their employees emotional support to prioritise employee well-being in remote positions that don’t facilitate much social interaction. Staying connected is key and reaps several benefits such as increased productivity, motivation and employee engagement.
3. Burnout
Remote work can blur the boundaries between personal and professional life, making it challenging for employees to maintain a healthy work-life balance and potentially leading to longer working hours. Remote employees are therefore more susceptible to overworking and burnout.
