Working from home has become a necessity these days. Globally, over 3.4 billion workers have had to work remotely because of the COVID-19 pandemic. Creating strategies to navigate this new world of work is and will continue to be a defining factor for organizational success and employee productivity. As remote work and hybrid work environments become more prevalent, companies must truly answer the question: Can employees actually work remotely? It is somewhat of a common fact that offices tend to be the most productive and collaborative environments for work. The only answer to this dilemma is creating a conducive environment for your work at home.
Remote teams need to set expectations, goals and regular meetings to have a cohesive approach to tasks as a team. Having such a schedule can also provide a feeling of connectedness despite working apart from each other.
