If we have learned anything from COVID-19, it is how important Transparent Communication is to maintaining a strong relationship with our Team Members. People want to know what’s going on and how it impacts their role. If remote or hybrid work (hybrid being defined as ~ 3 days in office) may be a possibility, attempt to communicate this as early as possible to your team so that they can start to make necessary adjustments. Waiting until the last second to make this call can leave people feeling frustrated and like they have to play catch up, versus feeling prepared (emotionally, mentally, and physically) that this was a possibility. Whether someone loves or hates remote work, it is important that they understand if/when this could happen so that they can at least feel a sense of control over the situation. To neglect this preparation could cause your talent to start to look elsewhere, which is a concern for 68% of respondents to a Challenger, Gray, and Christmas, Inc. survey.
As a Manager, you’re the first line of defense against burnout. Setting strong boundaries and being an example of how to communicate and build balance can help your team to feel comfortable coming to you when they’re feeling overwhelmed. Staying flexible and open can help keep engagement and motivation high.
Now that we’ve covered some ideas for how you can effectively manager your remote team, how will you know that it is actually working? Sometimes, people aren’t comfortable sharing their true thoughts in person, so even though we have regular check-ins, we aren’t getting the full picture. With Truvelop, we can use the Survey feature to measure engagement levels with ease. Having regular pulse checks are so important in terms of finding out what initiatives are working and what is still contributing to high stress. With nearly 82% of respondents to a Challenger, Gray, and Christmas, Inc. survey indicating that they've received employee pushback about going back in person, it's important that we understand where exactly the hesitancy stems from. Once you have the results, Managers can meet with their teams prepared to tackle any challenges. Together, Managers and Team Members can game plan a path forward. This shows that the Manager is invested in the Team Members’ wellbeing and is dedicated to optimizing their experience.
