Advice for Remote Work

Is Your Business Prepared for a Remote Workforce? Today’s workforce looks vastly different from that of just a decade ago. More companies are not only allowing employees to work from home, but they are encouraging it. In a recent report by FlexJobs and Global Workplace Analytics, remote work was found to have increased by 44 percent over the last five years and 91 percent in the past decade. Today, 4.7 million people, 3.4 percent of the U.S. population, now work from home. A FlexJob survey discovered that 74 percent of respondents believe flexible working has “become the new normal.”

Working remotely is increasingly popular these days, with employers and employees alike discovering the benefits of working away from the office. That said, remote work today isn’t the same as it was 10 or even five years ago. New trends in remote work are transforming the business world, and those who take advantage of them are seeing greater benefits than ever before. Whether you’re a remote worker or a business owner who’s thinking of taking things out of the workplace for some of your employees, it’s important that you understand how the remote work landscape is changing. Here are just

Teamwork

When you think of “team-building activities” you likely picture trust falls, cheesy motivational speeches and forced participation in boring office games. While developing teamwork and improving office camaraderie is important, the team will only improve if its members actually enjoy the activities. If everyone’s miserable, no one is going to take anything away from the exercise. Instead of trying to bring everyone together through trust falls, try injecting a bit more fun into your activities. Not only will they bring your team members closer together, but they may even help them to work more efficiently as a unit as well.

Some people see working from home as a dream come true, imagining days spent working in pajamas and only tackling tasks when they feel like it. The reality of working remotely is a bit different, of course. While you do have more control over your schedule, you still have deadlines and responsibilities along with a wide range of distractions that you never run into while at the office. This isn’t to say that working remotely can’t be a rewarding experience, however. It’s not for everyone, but for those who do thrive in a remote work environment, it can result in

Allowing employees to work from home is a growing trend that shows little signs of stopping or slowing down. The feasibility of remote work depends on the industry you operate in, of course, as some lend themselves to remote work easier than others. Still, it’s possible that your company might benefit greatly from letting at least some of your employees work from home. How can you tell if working from home will really help your company, though? While the decision really depends on multiple factors, here are a few questions you can ask that may shed some light and help

  The holiday season isn’t just about managing Black Friday and Cyber Monday, there’s fostering the spirit of giving, too. As a business leader or part of an organization, you’re in a great position to help your team make a big impression at the holidays, but it can be tricky to encourage them to go it alone. Instead of simply asking your people to do their part this year, you should be leading them with simple ways to make a huge impact together.

Raise your hand if you cringe just a little bit when people hit “reply all” on company-wide emails.  I’m glad to see we’re in agreement.  In case you didn’t know, the holidays are the one time each year where “thread etiquette” goes out the window. In a recent company-wide email, I asked everyone to hit the dreaded reply all button and complete the following sentence: I am thankful for… These are four powerful words followed by a profound little view into the lives of each of my colleagues.  Our thread is up to 28 and counting.  The responses have been
