While this is a barrier most of all for young people who are more likely to live with parents, or living in shared spaces or smaller homes with no office space, this remains a barrier to between 38%-53% of people in all other age groups as well.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"is-your-company-able-to-offer-remote-or-hybrid-working\">Is your company able to offer remote or hybrid working?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It\u2019s a fact that some jobs just are not suited to remote working. In-person jobs like those in healthcare, the service industry, or manufacturing are by their very nature always going to be office-first workplaces. That said, just because traditionally there has been less room for experimentation in hybrid approaches in these fields, doesn\u2019t mean it\u2019s not worth trialing.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Is there any regular administrative work that could be done reasonably from home for example? Giving staff the option to work remotely can be a great gesture, even if it\u2019s only ever going to be possible for a small percentage of tasks, and gives you a way to stand out from more traditional competitors.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you aren\u2019t able to offer any flexibility in remote working, another option to stand out against competitors could be to provide better benefits to staff through reduced\/free parking when visiting the office, or travel cards to help with the rising costs of commuting.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"developing-your-remote-working-policy\">Developing your remote working policy<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/uk\/resources\/remote-work-policy-template\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/RemoteWorkTemplate_desktop-1-1024x577-1.png\" alt=\"RemoteWorkTemplate_desktop (1)\" class=\"wp-image-41624\"\/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As an employer, you want to ensure that your organisation is covered legally and that your duty of care obligations to your remote teams are met.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Developing a policy for your business may feel like a daunting task, but our <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/uk\/resources\/remote-work-policy-template\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Remote and Flexible Working Policy and Remote Working Employee Agreement<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> template can help.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Whatever the work situation, as an employer you have a duty of care to ensure the health and safety of your remote workers. It is your responsibility to guide your team and provide advice on best practices on how to safely work from home.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Additionally, you should ensure your workforce understands how to work from home and complete their jobs efficiently.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Having certain work processes and procedures in place can assist in supporting your \u201cwork from anywhere\u201d policy.These include:<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Providing equipment and training to facilitate offsite productivity<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Encouraging transparent communication with clients, suppliers and teammates regarding a remote coworker\u2019s arrangements<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Ensuring employees who work remotely are offered opportunities that are aligned with their office-bound team members<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>\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<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"how-to-develop-trust-with-remote-employees\">How to develop trust with remote employees<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"establish-objectives-and-key-results-okrs\">Establish Objectives and Key Results (OKRs)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/uk\/resources\/okrs-guide\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">OKRs<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> 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.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Having goals in place provides structure and alignment to help your employees stay focused. Be aware that successfully establishing OKRs remotely will involve a different approach compared to sitting around a table in the office.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"create-measurable-goals\">Create measurable goals<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This is an important factor when it comes to goal setting with OKRs. When managing remote workers, you may find yourself falling into the trap of setting goals and OKRs that are tasks on \u2018to-do\u2019 lists, rather than actions to support goals more specifically.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Goals for remote teams should be numerical and ambitious. They should also be SMART:<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Specific<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Measurable<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Achievable<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Relevant<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Time-bound<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Making sure your team\u2019s OKRs are solid from the offset and easily measurable without having to physically oversee your team\u2019s work or performance which may happen more naturally in an office environment, will be crucial for helping remote team members reach their goals.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"provide-regular-updates-and-opportunities-for-feedback\">Provide regular updates and opportunities for feedback<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When working in remote environments, it can be easy to lose the accountability that is more routine when teams are working in an office.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In your weekly 1:1s, dedicate 5 minutes to going over your OKRs and create an action plan for that week.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">By breaking down the task, it will seem more manageable and allow your remote employees to stay on track. It also means that you won\u2019t have your team members stressing out when it\u2019s the final week of the quarter.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In your weekly meeting, some questions you could ask are:<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Are we on track with our quarterly goals?<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What are you committing to next week to progress your OKRs?<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What have you learned?<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"ensure-all-teams-are-regularly-updating-reflecting-on-their-okrs\">Ensure all teams are regularly updating &amp; reflecting on their OKRs<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you have regular company-wide meetings online, ensure your leadership team is providing updates on your OKRs. This might include a broad breakdown of the percentage of people who are and aren\u2019t updating their OKRs, or highlighting particular teams whose employees are flying and who are managing the process well.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This isn\u2019t to single people out but to act as a reminder that everyone should be aligned to company-wide OKRs and continually be working towards their personal and business-specific goals.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"how-to-develop-trust-with-remote-employees-1\">How to develop trust with remote employees<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The questions we are hearing frequently from leaders are \u2013 <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">how can I trust my employees to be productive<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">? And, <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">how can my employees prove that they are getting the work done<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">?<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> 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.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If 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.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As an employer, it\u2019s important that you are equipped with the solutions and practical strategies needed to develop a high trust culture within a remote workplace.Here are a few that keep our remote teams assured and accountable.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"communicate-often\">Communicate often<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>\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<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"set-clear-expectations\">Set clear expectations<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>\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<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"focus-on-output-over-hours\">Focus on output over hours<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the biggest concerns that managers face when their employees are remote is that they\u2019re unable to track how long each person remains in their seat or at their laptop as they would with 9-5 hours in the office. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Monitoring 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. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Remote work requires accountability, and if a worker fails to deliver, they must communicate why. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"check-in-regularly-with-11s\">Check-in regularly with 1:1s<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A one-on-one is a scheduled meeting in your calendar and your mental map for an open-ended and anticipated conversation between a manager and an employee.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">These meetings are intended for coaching, mentorship, context or even venting, however, the value of one-on-ones is for leaders, teammates, and peers to connect and communicate. As a manager, effective one-on-ones should leave employees feeling heard, safe, and empowered.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"get-regular-employee-feedback\">Get regular employee feedback<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Feedback is so important to success because without it, you don\u2019t know where to improve. When it comes to engagement, employees who receive feedback \u2013 good or bad \u2013 are twice as likely to be highly engaged, and highly productive as a result.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Feedback is hard in remote contexts, especially when remote teams are spread across different regions and time zones. However, remote employees and managers need to be cross-collaborative to truly see results.
