The challenges of remote work:
� Problems with communication
� Problems with engagement
� Problems with trust
TrustRemote employees require managers who trust them. People trust the clear and
mistrust or distrust the ambiguous.
So be clear about your: � mission, � purpose, � expectations, � daily activities.
The leaders who work most effectively, it seems to me, never say 'I.' And that's
not because they have trained themselves not to say 'I.' They don't
think 'I.' They think 'we'; they think 'team.' - Peter Drucker,
author of Managing for the Future
CommunicationMake sure remote workers are not left out.Use a internal communication system, that makes sure both you and every member of the team knows what’s going on.
The best thing about Weekdone is that it has allowed us to go remote. Before the
status reports, we were using Google Docs to keep up with each other. That
was just painful.- Richard Beeson, AgoraPulse

Use Weekdone weekly progress reports to manage your remote teams
Weekdone has been the perfect tool for our remote team to keep track of daily and weekly plans and stay focused on
getting the right things done, rather than just creating the appearance of being
busy.- Jon Lay, Founder of Hanno
EngagementMake sure your remote workers have a chance to engage with their co-workers (and you!). The more engaged employees are, the higher the productivity!
Highly engaged employees are 38% more likely to have above-average productivity.
Always treat your employees exactly as you want them to treat your best
customers. –Stephen R. Covey
