With COVID-19 altering the way we do just about everything, our work lives have changed dramatically over the past four months. But work doesn\u2019t have to feel messy. Many of us have started to adapt to a new work style. Still, there are plenty of kinks to work out. Many organizations still struggle to discover which practices related to <a href=\"about:blank\">managing remote employees<\/a> work most effectively for their teams. This article explores the most recent trends in at-home work and how to overcome the inherent challenges that come along with it.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h3 id=\"Remote-Work-is-Trending\"><strong>Remote Work is Trending<\/strong><\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>We can no longer deny it. Remote work has been trendy for the past couple of years. Now, with COVID-19 turning everything on its head, we\u2019re all having to accept that work-from-home policies are here to stay for many industries. In fact, <a href=\"about:blank\">Nicholas Bloom<\/a>, Professor of Economics at Stanford University, has said in his TedxTalk that working from home should be considered \u201cfuture-looking technology\u201d from a business standpoint.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Still not quite convinced? Consider the numbers. Remote work has been trending and <a href=\"about:blank#:~:text=According%20to%20the%20Remote%20Work,for%20less%20than%20a%20year.%E2%80%9D\">researchers are noticing<\/a>.\u00a0 According to the <a href=\"about:blank\">Remote Work Report<\/a>, 42 percent of people who are 100 percent remote say they have been working this way for over five years.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Additionally, <a href=\"about:blank\">41 percent<\/a> of global businesses surveyed say they are currently offering some amount of remote working, while 60 percent provide flexible working opportunities. Upwork, an online platform for freelance workers, predicts that <a href=\"about:blank\">73 percent<\/a> of all work teams will have remote employees by the year 2028.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>As the novel coronavirus\/COVID-19 illness has gripped the United States for much of 2020, it looks like some of the changes to the way we work will be sticking around for quite some time. <a href=\"about:blank\">According to research<\/a> conducted in March 2020, 88 percent of organizations encourage employees to work from home, regardless of whether they show any symptoms. By all intents and purposes, COVID-19 has provided a tipping point for how Americans work.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"934\" height=\"173\" class=\"wp-image-9601\" src=\"https:\/\/www.knowledgecity.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/upwork.png\" alt=\"infographic\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.knowledgecity.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/upwork.png 934w, https:\/\/www.knowledgecity.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/upwork-600x111.png 600w, https:\/\/www.knowledgecity.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/upwork-300x56.png 300w, https:\/\/www.knowledgecity.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/upwork-768x142.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 934px) 100vw, 934px\" \/><\/figure>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h3 id=\"Pros-of-Working-from-Home\"><strong>Pros of Working from Home<\/strong><\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Working from home certainly has its share of benefits. Here are some of the many ways that remote work can <a href=\"about:blank\">increase productivity<\/a> and lead to <a href=\"about:blank\">enhanced work output<\/a>.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<ul>\r\n<li>People are more likely to work their full shifts each day \u2013 Without the tricky commutes, long lunches with colleagues, leaving early for childcare\/home maintenance work, etc., people are much more likely to be at their desks doing their jobs for a full eight hours a day.<\/li>\r\n<li>People concentrate better at home \u2013 The office is full of distractions. People can focus on their tasks better when their home environment is peaceful\/comfortable.<\/li>\r\n<li>Employees stay longer with companies that allow for remote work \u2013 Companies can spend less time and money on recruiting and hiring when their employees have higher tenure.<\/li>\r\n<li>Employees are less likely to take time off \u2013 The work-life balance is easier to strike while working from home.<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h3 id=\"Cons-of-Working-from-Home\"><strong>Cons of Working from Home<\/strong><\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>While there are definitely many pros to remote work, there are some cons, too. It\u2019s important to be aware of both sides of the coin so that your organization can create a good work-from-home policy.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Here are some of the <a href=\"about:blank\">common<\/a> work-from-home <a href=\"about:blank\">cons<\/a>:<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<ul>\r\n<li>Loneliness can become a challenge for some remote employees \u2013 This can affect mental health and lead to poor communication between employees and management.<\/li>\r\n<li>Some employees find it difficult to unplug from work at the end of the day \u2013 For these individuals, they can see work-life balance go out the window.<\/li>\r\n<li>Many remote employees report not receiving adequate internet security training to keep their company\u2019s data safe at home.<\/li>\r\n<li>Lack of culture \u2013 When employers don\u2019t make efforts to emphasize company culture to remote employees, these individuals can feel disconnected from the overall message or brand related to their jobs.<\/li>\r\n<li>Maintaining accountability can be a challenge \u2013 Adapting KPIs and metrics to the remote lifestyle is crucial.<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h3 id=\"How-to-Overcome-the-Cons-of-Working-from-Home\"><strong>How to Overcome the Cons of Working from Home<\/strong><\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Although there are several cons to having employees work from home, there are ways to overcome this. The best thing management and leadership teams can do to work around any potential pitfalls is to prepare and implement a successful work-from-home plan. The plan should be clear and adaptable.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>A successful work-from-home strategy will have the <a href=\"about:blank\">following features<\/a>:<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<ul>\r\n<li>Define how employees will work \u2013 Some roles are unable to seamlessly transition to remote work. Laying out an idea of what a workday should look like for these employees will be immensely beneficial to maintaining productivity.<\/li>\r\n<li>Provide the right tools and technology \u2013 Leadership should ensure that all employees have what they need to do their job from home. This includes any technology such as laptops, printers, or even wireless routers.<\/li>\r\n<li>Establish communication channels that work for everyone \u2013 Using chat features, planning programs, etc. can help ensure that everyone stays on the same page and has access to critical information in real time.<\/li>\r\n<li>Plan group time \u2013 Collaborative aspects of certain jobs can easily suffer while employees are remote. Schedule in regular group discussions via Zoom or Skype to keep the ideas flowing.<\/li>\r\n<li>Clearly establish rules and legal rights for employees \u2013 Make sure that employees take their regular breaks and know what is expected of them during their workdays. If necessary, provide guidelines about when employees may and may not work on company projects. When employees have a better work-life balance and can maintain good mental health, they\u2019ll do better work and feel like more valued members of the team.<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h3 id=\"Tips-for-Success\"><strong>Tips for Success<\/strong><\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>In order to be successful with your remote work teams, find ways to <a href=\"about:blank\">measure the effectiveness<\/a> of your work-from-home policy.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>When developing KPIs to measure how your employees are doing with remote work, consider the following key elements:<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<ul>\r\n<li>Simplicity<\/li>\r\n<li>Alignment to organizational goals and values<\/li>\r\n<li>Relevance<\/li>\r\n<li>Measurability<\/li>\r\n<li>Achievability<\/li>\r\n<li>Timeliness<\/li>\r\n<li>Visibility<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"848\" height=\"790\" class=\"wp-image-9597\" src=\"https:\/\/www.knowledgecity.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Tips-For-success-1.png\" alt=\"KPIs\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.knowledgecity.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Tips-For-success-1.png 848w, https:\/\/www.knowledgecity.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Tips-For-success-1-600x559.png 600w, https:\/\/www.knowledgecity.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Tips-For-success-1-300x279.png 300w, https:\/\/www.knowledgecity.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Tips-For-success-1-768x715.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 848px) 100vw, 848px\" \/><\/figure>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Be sure to clearly identify the value and purpose of any new KPIs to remote employees so that they have a clear picture of what is expected of them.
