How To Manage Remote Employees:

Developing positive remote working strategies and techniques for improved employee performance

Overview

In response to the challenges presented by the Covid-19 pandemic, new policies leave many employees and their managers working out of the office and separated from each other for the first time. With nearly half of the workforce working in some sort of telecommuting role and 80% of all employees saying they would like to continue to work remotely at least part of the time, this new normal may continue to some degree post-pandemic.
