What began, for most, as an involuntary and short-term solution to our current climate is now a front-of-mind consideration for many business owners and employees across Singapore and around the world.\n\nFor some, this <a href=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/sg\/blog\/work-from-home-trends\/\">newfound work style<\/a> has had a positive impact, opening doors to a range of opportunities that before were beyond reach.\n\nFor others, having a <a href=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/sg\/resources\/distributed-workforce-playbook\/\">distributed team<\/a> of remote workers has led to challenges that feel unsolvable with even a week\u2019s worth of video calls, remote check-ins and virtual team meetings on the calendar.\n\nWherever your business is positioned on this compass, working remotely is an important matter to navigate.\n\nAccording to 91爆料\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/sg\/resources\/remote-work-report\/\">Remote Work Report<\/a>, 88% of knowledge workers would like to work remotely at least one day a week.\n\nWe can safely assume then that <strong>the option to work remotely will become an employee expectation<\/strong>.\n\nAs an employer, it\u2019s important to take note of this and allow for remote jobs, or you could see top talent walk out the door to a more flexible organisation.\n\n<em><strong>Read more: Check out our <a href=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/sg\/resources\/remote-work-report\/\">2022 remote work report<\/a><\/strong><\/em>\n<h2 id=\"key-points\">Key points:<\/h2>\n<ol>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Remote work, initially a short-term solution, has become a major consideration worldwide due to its potential benefits.<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Remote work allows employees to work outside the traditional office setup and regular hours, promoting flexibility and reducing commuting stress.\nRemote work offers benefits such as improved work-life balance and increased talent pool but also requires thoughtful implementation to maintain team culture and productivity.<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Employers must develop a remote working policy to meet legal and care obligations to their remote teams.<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Trust between team members is foundational for effective remote teams, with employees and employers needing to work harder to build it.<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">When managing remote teams, employers should focus on the output delivered by remote workers rather than hours spent working.<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Implementing OKRs can help align and track remote team goals across the company.<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Essential remote working tools like Asana, 91爆料, Zoom and Slack can greatly improve remote productivity.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h2 id=\"what-is-remote-work-exactly\">What is remote work, exactly?<\/h2>\nRemote work enables employees to work outside of a traditional office environment and the conventional 9-5 hours.\n\nWhether that environment is a home office, a co-working space or a local coffee shop, it\u2019s about empowering your employees to choose where and when they work best.\n\nA remote work approach is driven by the belief that work can be completed successfully without workers being bound to a physical location.\n\nFor an employee, to work remotely means no commute to the office, no designated desk and more flexibility in completing projects and achieving goals in a location of their choice.\n\nFor an employer, this can result in increased staff retention, reduced overheads and a happier, <a href=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/sg\/blog\/measure-productivity-remote-employees\/\">more productive team<\/a> &#8211; but more on the benefits of a remote work approach later.\n\nWhen it comes to remote working, there isn\u2019t a one size fits all solution. It\u2019s important to remember that remote work will mean different things to different remote companies.\n\nAs an employer, it\u2019s up to you to develop your own definition of remote work that meets your organisation&#8217;s unique structure, goals and objectives.\n\n<em><strong>Read more: <a href=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/sg\/blog\/peo-guide\/\">How to outsource hiring international employees<\/a><\/strong><\/em>\n<h3 id=\"developing-your-own-remote-work-definition\">Developing your own remote work definition<\/h3>\nIt\u2019s no secret that working remotely (or from home) is a <a href=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/sg\/blog\/work-from-home-trends\/\">popular workplace trend<\/a> seen by many as a short-term solution to our current situation. The idea in itself suggests that there is an office waiting for you, a desk to go back to and a coffee machine in the kitchen with your name on it.\n\nWhat this trend has revealed is the immense potential of businesses and their remote employees in the digital age. With the right attitudes, <a href=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/sg\/blog\/remote-working-software\/\">tools and technology<\/a> in place, we are seeing firsthand the lasting benefits that remote work can provide.\n\nThis realisation has compelled many business owners to use learnings from their quick-fix solutions to develop <a href=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/sg\/resources\/the-remote-first-workplace-playbook\/\">long-term remote work plans<\/a> that fit their organisation.\n\nDesigning your own definition of remote work means thinking from two different perspectives; your own and your employees.\n<ol>\n<li>What does a mutually beneficial solution look like in your organisation?<\/li>\n<li>How does remote work impact team culture?<\/li>\n<\/ol>\nA <a href=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/sg\/blog\/remote-working-guide\/\">remote first<\/a> approach, for example, could provide your employees with the flexibility they need to work when and where is best for them, depending on their current situation.\n\nWith this model, deep work is completed at home or in a remote location, and physical workplaces are for socialising, coworker interaction, and collaboration.\n\nThe best part about a remote-first approach is that you can still support and guide those who are unable to work from home effectively, as they have the option to work in the office should they choose to.\n\nA <a href=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/sg\/resources\/hybrid-working-policy\/\">hybrid work-from-home model<\/a> is a happy medium that allows employees to enjoy the benefits of both a traditional and virtual workspace. It\u2019s an option being considered by Google, following a recent internal survey that found <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnbc.com\/2020\/09\/23\/google-ceo-sundar-pichai-considering-hybrid-work-from-home-models.html\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">62% of Google employees want to get back to the office at some point<\/a>, just not every day of the week.\n\nA hybrid model with long-term remote work options will allow Google employees to benefit from face time with their colleagues as well as greater flexibility and family time.\n\nOn the other hand, in a fully remote company there is no office setting and your employees or freelancers never attend a physical workspace.\n\nHaving a fully remote team is an increasingly popular option for many businesses who want to access a <a href=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/sg\/resources\/hiring-your-first-international-employee\/\">much wider candidate pool<\/a> to fill their positions and enjoy the many other advantages of a remote friendly structure.\n\nWhatever the arrangement, make it a priority to <a href=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/sg\/blog\/remote-company-culture\/\">build company culture in your remote team<\/a>. You don\u2019t want your distributed workers to be <a href=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/sg\/blog\/stay-connected-virtually-with-coworkers\/\">socially distanced as well as physically<\/a>.\n\n<em><strong>Read more: <a href=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/sg\/blog\/online-induction-program\/\">How do you welcome a remote employee virtually?<\/a><\/strong><\/em>\n<h2 id=\"understanding-the-trends-of-remote-working\">Understanding the trends of remote working<\/h2>\nOur notion of \u2018work\u2019 is on the verge of transforming completely, becoming a thing we <em>do<\/em> as opposed to a location we go to. Work hours will become fluid as we focus more on output instead of input.\n\nTo support this, emerging technologies will expand the possibilities of remote work and leaders will be required to play a more active role in <a href=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/sg\/blog\/support-remote-employee-wellbeing\/\">supporting mental health and connection<\/a> in their teams.\n\nSo, if this is the case, will we have offices at all in the future? Our research found that the thing workers miss the most about the workplace is the social aspect.\n\nThey miss easily bouncing ideas off coworkers, office social events, the camaraderie and friendship of colleagues, ease of communication with a team leader or manager and the general energy of the workplace.\n\nClearly, face-to-face interaction with co-workers is one of the things that we value the most about our work experience, and we predict that <a href=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/sg\/blog\/the-evolution-of-the-office\/\">future offices and workplaces<\/a> will become dynamic environments to cater for this.\n\nDesigned to facilitate a range of social activities, we believe that offices will transform into vibrant places for collaboration, creation, learning and team bonding.\n\n<em><strong>Read more: <a href=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/sg\/blog\/remote-working-statistics\/\">Remote work statistics you should know<\/a><\/strong><\/em>\n<h2 id=\"what-are-the-benefits-of-a-remote-team\">What are the benefits of a remote team?<\/h2>\nIt\u2019s taken a global pandemic to teach us that we can perform our role away from our traditional workspaces.\n\nBefore the crisis, the vast majority of us would manage the pressure of our daily routines without realising just how exhausted we were, partly because it\u2019s all we\u2019d ever known.\n\nLengthy commutes were the norm, but now, thanks to remote work, we\u2019re using that time to be with our families.\n<h3 id=\"1-help-your-team-facilitate-a-greater-work-and-life-balance\">1.

It\u2019s up to them to manage their new remote work environment and it\u2019s up to you to guide and above all, trust your team.\n\n<em><strong>Read more: <a href=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/sg\/resources\/tips-for-working-from-home\/\">Tips for employees working from home<\/a><\/strong><\/em>\n<h3 id=\"2-instantly-open-up-your-talent-pool-domestically-and-internationally\">2.

A remote approach means no boundaries when it comes to location. This means that your talent pool instantly increases and your <a href=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/sg\/resources\/hiring-your-first-international-employee\/\">new employee could work in the U.S, UK, Canada or anywhere<\/a>!\n\nThe career opportunities that you provide are no longer bound by location but instead are open to different states and even countries. This means you\u2019ll have more choice when it comes to hiring top talent. Better yet, this can lead to a decrease in time to fill roles, which can save you money in the long run.\n\n<em><strong>Read more: <a href=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/sg\/blog\/eor-guide\/\">How can an employer of record help hire internationally?<\/a><\/strong><\/em>\n<h3 id=\"3-reduce-your-overheads\">3. Reduce your overheads<\/h3>\nThis one is a no-brainer. No office space at all means no overheads for that cost centre, just like a smaller space means reduced overheads, and offices used less frequently or by less people will result in lower bills than when operating at full capacity.\n\nRemote work. Sounds good &#8211; right?\n<h3 id=\"4-create-an-inclusive-working-environment\">4. Create an inclusive working environment<\/h3>\nWhen introducing remote work to the mix, you create the opportunity to improve inclusiveness and diversity within your business.\n\nEssentially, you are broadening your candidate pool to include people with different backgrounds or beliefs. This approach can help reduce inequality by creating more equitable employment opportunities for those who may not have them otherwise.\n\nPeople such as parents, carers, <a href=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/sg\/blog\/remote-work-accessible\/\">people with disabilities<\/a> and those unable to commute to the office due to their geographical location have often been excluded from the full range of career options, and this is your opportunity to change that.\n<h3 id=\"5-contribute-to-increased-employee-happiness-and-productivity\">5. Contribute to increased employee happiness and productivity<\/h3>\nThis one is a biggie. The general outcome of our recent research into remote working found that remote employees are enjoying the experience of working from home and would continue to work from home regularly if given the opportunity.\n\nUltimately, it contributes to them feeling happier and more productive in their roles.\n\nAccording to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cigna.com.sg\/static\/docs\/pdf\/Cigna_Singapore_360_Well-being_Report_2022.pdf\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Cigna&#8217;s 260 Global Well-Being Survey<\/a>, 94% of Singaporean hybrid workers are suffering from stress, well above the global average of 86%. Employees are also suffering from &#8216;virtual overload or fatigue&#8217; amid hybrid work, with 90% saying they work outside normal hours at least once a week.\n\nUnfortunately, mental health conditions are common and when left untreated, expensive for a business owner. Globally, depression causes an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.forbes.com\/sites\/mariaminor\/2021\/01\/20\/mental-health-in-the-workplace-the-high-cost-of-depression\/?sh=216f9bca6666\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">estimated 200 million lost workdays each year<\/a>, at the cost of $17 billion to $44 billion to employers.\n\nOf course many factors can contribute to workplace stress. A holistic approach should be adopted to ensure that as an employer, you are taking the appropriate measures to <a href=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/sg\/resources\/tips-for-working-from-home\/\">guide your team on finding the right work life balance.<\/a>\n\nIn saying this, it\u2019s fair to say that many Singaporeans like to work remote and are happier when doing so. Besides no commute to the office, workers are also enjoying flexibility and additional time saved.\n\nBy introducing <a href=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/sg\/blog\/flexible-work-arrangements-best-practices\/\">flexible work policies<\/a>, businesses stand to improve their desirability, increase retention rates and create a healthier (and thus more productive) work culture.\n\nRemote work, or the option to work remotely, is a win win for both businesses and employees.\n\nLooking for transition into a flexible workplace?

It is your responsibility to guide your team and provide advice on best practices advice on how to safely work from home.\n\nAdditionally, you should ensure your workforce understands how to work from home and complete their jobs efficiently.\n\nHaving certain work processes and procedures in place can assist in supporting your \u201cwork from anywhere\u201d policy.\n\nThese include:\n<ul>\n<li>Providing equipment and training to facilitate offsite productivity<\/li>\n<li>Encouraging transparent communication with clients, suppliers and teammates regarding a remote coworker\u2019s arrangements<\/li>\n<li>Ensuring employees who work remotely are offered opportunities that are aligned with their office-bound team members<\/li>\n<\/ul>\nAnd don\u2019t forget the little things! Put remote employee anniversaries and birthdays in the calendar and make sure you celebrate them.\n\nTogether, these processes can go a long way in supporting your remote work model.\n<h2 id=\"how-to-develop-trust-with-remote-employees\">How to develop trust with remote employees<\/h2>\nDespite many employees favouring remote work and the mutual benefits for both employers and their workers, managers are still <a href=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/sg\/blog\/develop-trust-remote-working\/\">having difficulty trusting their employees<\/a> to work productively from the comfort of their home environments.\n\nThe questions we are hearing frequently are &#8211; <em>how can I trust my employees to be productive<\/em>? And, <em>how can my employees prove that they are getting the work done<\/em>? The simple answer to these questions is that it\u2019s a two-way street and both parties need to work that little bit harder to foster trust when working remotely.\n\nIf we go back to basics, trust is foundational for creating an effective team. Employees need to trust that they are safe, respected and will get paid correctly by the company that they work for, and companies need to trust that their teams are positively engaged and will deliver what the business needs of them.\n\nAs an employer, it\u2019s important that you are equipped with the solutions and practical strategies needed to <a href=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/sg\/blog\/develop-trust-remote-working\/\">develop a high trust culture within a remote workplace.<\/a>\n\nHere are a few that keep our remote teams assured and accountable.\n<h3 id=\"communicate-often\">Communicate often<\/h3>\nWhen operating from a remote environment, communication and trust has never been more important. It goes further than just spoken words but includes tone and body language.\n\nThis is why it\u2019s so important to encourage everyone in your team to have their cameras on during meetings.\n<h3 id=\"set-clear-expectations\">Set clear expectations<\/h3>\nSetting clear goals and expectations is critical for building trusting relationships. Be sure to clearly articulate what it is you want each team member to achieve throughout the course of the day.\n\nIf an activity needs to be finished before a deadline, set reminders for those responsible to prevent anyone steering off track.\n<h3 id=\"focus-on-output-over-hours\">Focus on output over hours<\/h3>\nOne of the biggest concerns that managers face when their employees are remote is that they\u2019re unable to <a href=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/sg\/blog\/case-against-employee-monitoring-software\/\">track how long each person remains in their seat<\/a> or at their laptop as they would with 9-5 hours in the office.\n\nMonitoring teams who work remotely means trusting them to accomplish exactly what was agreed to. The last thing any employee wants is to feel as though they\u2019re continually being watched. In truth, your employees may well be making a snack in the kitchen, spending longer preparing lunch than usual or even watching cute dog videos on youtube.\n\nRemote work requires accountability, and if a worker fails to deliver, they must communicate why.\n<h3 id=\"establish-objectives-and-key-results-okrs\">Establish Objectives and Key Results (OKRs)<\/h3>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/sg\/resources\/okrs-guide\/\">OKRs<\/a> are an effective way to manage your team\u2019s goals. They provide transparency across the entire business and allow your team to know how they\u2019re contributing to the broader business goals.\n\nHaving goals in place provides structure and alignment to help your employees stay focused. Be aware that <a href=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/sg\/blog\/goal-setting-remote-teams-okrs\/\">successfully establishing OKRs remotely<\/a> will involve a different approach compared to sitting around a table in the office.\n<h3 id=\"reward-and-recognise-your-team-for-great-work\">Reward and recognise your team for great work<\/h3>\nLeveraging <a href=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/sg\/blog\/benefits-perks-remote-employees\/\">work-from-home perks<\/a> is a great way to build a feeling of trust making your remote workers feel like valued team members.\n\nRewarding hard work is also a surefire way to make your employees feel motivated and committed to optimising their productivity.\n\nWhy not treat your remote work staff with a voucher for one of their favourite coffee shops for getting all of that data entry in before the deadline, or offer them a longer lunch break for nailing the topic on that blog post?\n<h2 id=\"remote-working-software-for-productivity\">Remote working software for productivity<\/h2>\nThankfully, technology had our back when the world went into lockdown, equipping us with communication tools, project management platforms and video conferencing apps.\n\nMany of us have become so familiar with letting participants into a Zoom presentation that we\u2019re questioning the necessity of the eleven interstate flights we made earlier this year.\n\nWhilst there are certainly downsides to our current situation, the technologies that we have rapidly adapted to have taught us how to build connections, sustain community and remain productive in isolation; learnings that the whole planet will likely take forward as normality continues to resume. But which project management platform or collaboration tool is right for your business?\n\nHere are a few that we\u2019ve found to be the most effective in <a href=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/sg\/blog\/remote-working-software\/\">remaining productive whilst working from home<\/a>:\n<h3 id=\"asana\"><a href=\"https:\/\/asana.com\/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Asana\u00a0<\/a><\/h3>\nHave 10,000 things on your do list?
