According to a recent Gallup survey, 43% of employed Americans spend at least part of their time working remotely and that number is still on the rise. With that many employees in the workforce working remotely, keeping those employees engaged has become a top priority for business leaders. Check out our five tips below on how to keep your remote employee engaged:
- Recognize and Reward: When employees aren’t right in front of you, it’s easy to forget to recognize them. Make sure to highlight your remote employee’s accomplishments, and what better way to do so than to share it with the whole company.
- Share company communications: Make sure that you are sharing company announcements, questions, and suggestions on the Activity Feed. This will make your remote employees feel more connected with what’s going on within your organization.
- Set up non-formal communication types: Add communication types for people to share non work-related items such as picture of the day, recipes, and even TV shows. This gives your remote employees a place where they can talk about things outside of work and can connect with other employees on a more personal level.
- Implement a feedback system: Have a feedback feature where remote employees can make suggestions, or notify managers of issues they are having. Make sure to have managers follow up so there are no pending issues or suggestions.
- Schedule frequent check-ins: Managers should set aside time for check-ins with remote employees to ask about problems or questions they may have. Record the responses in Teamphoria’s performance feature so that your remote employees can access at any time.
