Adopting Remote Work Practices Doesn’t Have to Be a Headache

Remote work is here to stay. Smart companies are making the transition seamlessly, while others are struggling. Instead of resisting this shift, it’s possible for HR professionals to leverage it for better outcomes. First, understand that communication in an asynchronous, remote workplace is crucial to success, as is documentation. Visibility into processes and consistency is vital. Expectations need to be crystal clear. Consider investing in effective internal communication tools to manage cadence, rules, and templates so messaging is consistent. Remember, when employees are clear on the “whys” about the rules for remote work and what the expectations are, the transition happens more smoothly.
